Colorado officials are investigating Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) under controversial circumstances. They are working to determine if the energetically pro-Trump representative broke any laws by cashing in on her campaign’s mileage reimbursements. As The Denver Post’s Conrad Swanson explains: Boebert paid herself more than $22,000 from her campaign account in 2020, raising red flags for ethics experts, The Denver Post previously reported.

The ex-congressman became a campaign consultant following his release. Prosecutors indicted Myers in 2020 for stuffing ballot boxes in Democratic primaries in…
