US Rep. Lauren Boebert paid utility and rent bills with campaign funds, according to a new Federal Election Commission filing
The report, submitted to the FEC on Tuesday, details a series of four payments this year totaling $6,650 to John Pacheco, whose address is the same as Shooters Grill in Rifle, Colorado -- the restaurant that Boebert has owned. The payments are described as rent and utilities that had been erroneously billed to campaign.Boebert's spokesman did not immediately respond to a CNN inquiry Thursday.
"That filing indicated that the expenses already had been reimbursed. This week's filing updated an earlier report from Boebert's campaign and shows payments for the same amounts and on the same dates -- previously described as personal expenses -- as going to Pacheco. And, for the first time, the filing indicated that the money had been used to pay rent and utility bills.
