Now That Subpoenas Are Flying, Lauren Boebert Is Denying Everything (Boebert has lawyered up)
Boebert has lawyered up
Link to tweet
Rolling Stone has since reported that some of the January 6th organizers, who are now cooperating with investigators, are admitting to multiple meetings with members of Congress and their staffs. They say they met with …Boebert’s team, Cawthorn’s team, Gosar’s team like back to back to back to back…”
Though this doesn’t make it clear whether the contact was directly with Boebert or with people representing her, Rolling Stone says there is also documentary evidence of the organizers being in direct communication with Boebert, as well as Paul Gosar, on the day of the attack. She was also listed as a speaker for one of the events that day, though ultimately she did not appear.
Now, though, subpoenas are being issued to people connected to the planning of that day, and one of the recipients, Steve Bannon, has already been referred to the Justice Department for legal action for defying that subpoena.
As the investigation heats up, Boebert is denying everything. In a statement tweeted Monday night, she attacks the Rolling Stone article, calling it “false,” and saying that she had nothing to do with the planning or organization of the attack.
