Getty Images After admitting the mistakes, Wheeler bizarrely filed a defamation suit against Boebert, who had threatened to take legal action against him in response. Several of the defamation claims were recommended for denial, and the group ultimately decided to dismiss the case. Boebert grumbled that her aide and former aides had their names and photos dragged into the ordeal. “I know that you’re more than willing to attack me and shame my household, but this is different and you crossed a line,” the congresswoman sniped. “I hope you think about the impact that this could have on them and their families the next time you rush to print without doing a little bit of research.” (Open a slideshow of all 6 article images.)
