SCOOP: Lauren Boebert reported the wrong source of her husband's million-dollar consulting income, according to a company rep, in apparent violation of House rules. Worse: The consulting company is connected to Boebert, per records. Me @thedailybeast

Lauren Boebert May Have Violated Financial Disclosure Laws
Business records appear to connect Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) to her husband’s energy consulting company. And Boebert never disclosed the income.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) appears to have failed to properly disclose the true source of nearly $1 million her husband made in the energy sector, in possible violation of House Ethics rules. And even worse: Some of that money appears to have been paid through a company connected directly to Boebert herself.

According to new financial disclosures, Rep. Lauren Boebert’s husband, Jayson Boebert, made $478,386 in 2020 and $460,601 in 2019 for “consulting services” he provided to a company called Terra Energy Productions, AP reported last week. (That name appears to be an error, with the intended company being Houston-based Terra Energy Partners.) A Terra Energy Partners representative confirmed to The Daily Beast on Friday that Jayson Boebert was a contracted shift worker, but was not paid directly. Instead, he was paid through a company called Boebert Consulting.

The Terra Energy representative said Rep. Boebert did not play a role in the company’s business relationship with her husband.

But while Boebert Consulting doesn’t appear in Lauren Boebert’s recent filing, it is listed on the financial forms Boebert filed in January 2020 as a congressional candidate, as “self-emp. income” for “spouse.” The income amount is not listed, and not required by law.

Where does Boebert Consulting get it's money?

Meanwhile, she shows Zero dollars from her restaurant.

This smells bad.
