Ethics complaint

On September 17, 2026, a complaint was filed by David B. Wheeler of American Muckrakers, with the United States House Committee on Ethics which alleged that Lauren Boebert had sexual, and romantic, relationships with three senior staff members, particularly Navarro, district chief of staff Raven Finegan, and chief of staff Jeffrey Small, and that she paid them hush money, violating the House of Representatives code of conduct. The complaint alleges that Boebert paid Navarro $200,000 in order for her to not bring her own ethics complaint against Boebert. Navarro denied the allegations involving her as "false, defamatory, and beyond ridiculous."
