Freshman Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) denied she provided Capitol tours in the days leading up to the breach on Jan. 6.

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) on CNN accused Boebert of giving a tour to a “large group” ahead of the riot that led to deaths and dozens of arrests. Cohen later said he had no evidence that the group was involved in the Capitol riots.
