Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is denying allegations that she had sexual relationships with current and former members of her congressional staff, calling the claims politically motivated and false.
The allegations were made in a complaint that David Wheeler, an activist who has previously made claims against Boebert, never properly filed with the U.S. House Committee on Ethics. Wheeler alleges that Boebert had sexual relationships with three staff members and arranged a $200,000 payment to one former aide to keep the alleged involvement quiet. CBS Colorado has not independently verified the allegations.
Boebert, a Republican who represents Colorado's 4th Congressional District, rejected the allegations in an exclusive interview with CBS Colorado.
"There has been no evidence of anything whatsoever, especially with every single person that he's accusing of being involved or even being a witness is denying this," Boebert said.
Boebert said she initially did not want to discuss the allegations publicly because she did not want to give them additional attention. She said she agreed to an interview because the claims also involve current and former members of her staff.
"If it was only about me, there wouldn't have been a response," Boebert said. "I would have brushed this off and walked away. But when you involve my team and lie about them, I have to stand up and say something."
