Boebert Denies Sex-Staffer Claims, Calls Ethics Complaint a Scam

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert rejected an ethics complaint alleging she slept with three staffers (two women), saying the accusations come from political operative David Wheeler of American Muckrakers and amount to a smear; Wheeler has a history of dubious claims and even pursued a defamation suit against Boebert. The named staffers—Clarice Navarro Ratzlaff, Jeffrey Small and Raven Finegan—deny the allegations. Boebert noted House Ethics rules limit accepting complaints near elections and that the ethics panel wouldn’t certify such filings, while Wheeler’s broader claims and Matt Gaetz’s mockery were also referenced.

Boebert denies alleged affairs with staffers, calls claims utterly false

Rep. Lauren Boebert publicly rejected a viral claim that she had sexual relationships with three staffers, including two women, calling the allegations 'utterly false' as a House Ethics complaint from activist David Wheeler moves forward. Wheeler alleges Boebert had liaisons with former district director Clarice Navarro Ratzlaff and two other staffers, based on undisclosed documents; Navarro Ratzlaff and Boebert's office deny the charges, and Boebert says the push is politically motivated and conflicts with House rules against staffers' sexual relationships.

Boebert Hit With Ethics Complaint Over Alleged Affairs With Aides

A sworn ethics complaint filed with the U.S. House Ethics Committee alleges Rep. Lauren Boebert engaged in sexual relationships with three aides under her supervision, violating post-#MeToo rules prohibiting lawmakers from dating their own staff. The complaint, filed under penalty of perjury by David Wheeler of American Muckrakers, centers on district director Clarice Navarro and also claims Boebert arranged a $200,000 payment to Navarro to deter an ethics complaint. Navarro denies the allegations; the piece cites past reporting and Wheeler’s prior claims, including a defamation suit he filed against Boebert. Boebert’s office did not comment, and the article notes it will be updated with responses as they are received.

Polis, and Boebert has argued Trump used leverage similar to past foreign aid pressure. The water project would have served about 50,000 residents, and Trump had vetoed the funding bill earlier despite Boebert’s support.
