Lauren Boebert may face 'punitive action' for using campaign funds to pay for rent and utilities

[634-5789]

On Wednesday, Forbes reported that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has admitted in Federal Election Commission documents to improperly paying for rent and utilities with campaign funding. According to amended filings released on Tuesday, two disbursements were $2,000 for "rent" and the other two were "rent/utilities," all of which have now been reimbursed.

Nonetheless, per the report, "Boebert's campaign may face punitive action for the payments," as the FEC warned in an August letter, although the letter added, "prompt action to obtain reimbursement of the funds in question will be taken into consideration."
