Republican Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado has been granted a temporary restraining order against David Wheeler, a co-founder of the Democratic-aligned political action committee American Muckrakers. A Weld County judge issued the order, stating that Wheeler posed a "credible risk of physical harm or a threat of physical, psychological and emotional harm" to Boebert. The order requires Wheeler to stay at least 100 yards away from her. Wheeler filed a complaint with the House Ethics Committee, alleging that Boebert had affairs with multiple male and female staff members, including her former district director Clarice Navarro, her chief of staff Raven Finegan, and her former chief of staff Jeffrey Small. The complaint claims some of these encounters occurred during work hours, in her district office, and in hotel rooms paid for by a campaign committee. It also alleged that a $200,000 payment was made to Navarro to "secure her silence" after she threatened to file her own ethics complaint. Navarro has denied these claims, calling them "entirely false and defamatory." Wheeler told CBS Colorado that one of the staff members’ ex-husbands is a source for the complaint. He said both sources are ready to testify and that he has the evidence in his possession, which he provided to the House Ethics Committee. Jace Ratzlaff, Navarro’s ex-husband, denied being a source and claimed he took a polygraph test to prove it. He described Wheeler’s allegations as "toxic." Boebert is running for reelection in November, and Wheeler filed the complaint 47 days before Election Day. Under House rules, ethics complaints filed within 60 days of an election are typically rejected. In a statement, Boebert accused Wheeler of recycling "sensational claims" and "baseless accusations" that have been previously fact-checked as false. She called the allegations "ridiculous, reckless, and politically motivated" and stated that the complaint was a "political smear packaged as an ethics filing." Wheeler has said he plans to file a defamation lawsuit against Boebert and indicated that his attorney will serve her in Weld County Court. He criticized Boebert for what he described as a "classic denial scheme" and accused her of believing she is not held accountable for her actions. The legal and political battle between the two has intensified as the election approaches.
