Rep. Lauren Boebert sparks controversy over leaked photos
One of the major arguments during Hillary Clinton’s testimony was caused by U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado. Boebert, who was testifying as a member of the House Oversight Committee, leaked a photo of Clinton to conservative podcaster Bennie Johnson midway through the hearing.
When Johnson posted the photo on social media and it went viral, Clinton and her lawyers briefly paused the hearing to “clarify” how the photo was leaked. A Clinton spokesman accused Boebert of violating House rules. But the hearing resumed shortly after, with Clinton reportedly returning to take questions from lawmakers.
Meanwhile, Boebert defended Benny Johnson, saying he “did nothing wrong.” It’s unclear whether Boebert will face any lawsuits over the leaked photos.
