Complaint Alleges Boebert Had Staff Affairs, Made $200,000 Payment

David Wheeler of American Muckrakers PAC filed a Sept. 17 ethics complaint alleging Rep. Lauren Boebert, Colorado Republican, had sexual relationships with three staffers and paid senior aide Clarice Navarro Ratzlaff $200,000 after one affair ended. House rules prohibit such ties. Both women deny the claims. A filing alone does not start an Ethics Committee review.
