Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is denying that she punched her ex-husband after police in a Colorado city confirmed they were called to a restaurant over an alleged altercation between Ms. Boebert and her former spouse.

“I didn’t punch Jayson in the face and no one was arrested,“ Ms. Boebert told news outlets in a statement. ”I will be consulting with my lawyer about the false claims he made against me and evaluate all of my legal options.”
