Colorado To Investigate Boebert For Alleged Scam

The New York Times reports:

Colorado officials are examining allegations that Representative Lauren Boebert, a Republican representing the state’s western half, inflated the mileage she logged on the campaign trail in 2020 and then used more than $20,000 in reimbursements from donors to pay off years of tax liens on her restaurant.

The Denver Post first reported in February 2021 that Ms. Boebert had cashed two checks from her campaign totaling $22,259 for mileage reimbursement. The number equated to 38,712 miles — well more than the 24,901-mile circumference of the planet.

But the same group that unleashed a torrent of unflattering information about Representative Madison Cawthorn that helped defeat his bid for a second term in North Carolina last month has brought the matter to the Colorado attorney general’s office, which has referred it for an interagency examination.

Yesterday it was reported that thousands of Colorado Democrats have dropped their party affiliation in order to vote against Boebert in the Republican primary.

Lauren Boebert is now being investigated for the $22,259 check she wrote to herself from campaign funds for supposedly driving 38,712 miles in her 2020 campaign, and paying off tax liens on Shooter’s Grill with campaign contributions. https://t.co/LH0cELZw27
