Lauren Boebert has furiously denied allegations she had affairs with three staffers, calling the ethics complaint a 'scam' that journalists 'fell for'. The Colorado Republican says the claims came from David Wheeler, a political operative she obtained a civil protection order against in 2022. All three named staffers — Clarice Navarro Ratzlaff, Jeffrey Small and Raven Finegan — have denied the allegations.
