CNBC: “Federal officials are pressing Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., for answers on the apparent personal use of thousands of dollars in campaign funds. A letter from the Federal Election Commission to the treasurer of Boebert’s 2022 reelection campaign inquired about four Venmo payments totaling more than $6,000. FEC filings show the payments came between May and June for what’s described on the forms as ‘personal expense of Lauren Boebert billed to campaign account in error.’ The filings then note that the ‘expense has been reimbursed.’ A spokesman for Boebert told CNBC that the personal expenses were already reimbursed but did not say what the payments were for. ‘The Venmo charges were personal expenses that were billed to the campaign account in error. The reimbursement has already happened and will appear in the Q3 filing,’ Ben Stout, Boebert’s deputy chief of staff and communications director, told CNBC in an email on Wednesday. The FEC letter also notes that ‘if it is determined that the disbursement(s) constitutes the personal use of campaign funds, the Commission may consider taking further legal action.'”
