Lauren Boebert has addressed the allegations surrounding her personal life, denying that she has ever had an inappropriate relationship with a member of her congressional staff, according to Yahoo News. Her response came days after a sworn complaint accused her of relationships with three staffers. The complaint also alleged that she paid one of them $200,000.
Boebert gave the denial in an interview with Capitol Hill reporter Juliegrace Brufke published Saturday. “Well, I’m not a lesbian or bisexual, and I have never, ever been in any inappropriate relationship, nor have I ever been sexually involved with any staff,” she said.
The interview followed a Sept. 17 ethics complaint filed against Boebert. The filing also alleges that she paid one of the staffers $200,000 after the employee allegedly threatened to file an ethics complaint.
