Lauren Boebert speaks out
While downplaying the accusations against her son, Boebert claimed that it was the consequence of 'a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of our house.'
Boebert, who serves in Colorado's fourth congressional district, described the occurrence as a 'one-time incident' and stated that the boy was unharmed.
'I am confident this is a one-time incident that we have addressed as a family,' the 38-year-old grandmother said.
In 2023, the three-term congresswoman revealed that Tyler's partner became pregnant with his child while he was just 17 years old.
This case is the most recent in a series of legal troubles affecting Boebert's eldest son.
Cases against Tyler Boebert
In September 2022, Tyler reportedly injured his passenger when he flipped his dad's SUV while driving.
He was ticketed for reckless driving, but as part of a plea agreement with Garfield County prosecutors, the matter was ultimately reduced to a 'defective vehicle for headlights' violation.
Tyler reported his father's abuse of him at their house to the police in January 2024.
In a Garfield County arrest document, Jayson Boebert was charged with pushing Tyler to the floor and putting his thumb in his mouth, which led to his arrest.
Tyler was on two-year probation after entering a guilty plea to trying identity theft in October 2024.
Boebert was barred from using illicit substances and had to perform 80 hours of volunteer work as part of his probation, according to Westword.
Tyler Boebert is expected to appear in Weld County Court regarding the child abuse complaint on September 8.

What is ‘Golf Force One'? Explaining Donald Trump's security detail in Scotland
US President Donald Trump and the Secret Service are taking no chances after the assassination attempt on the Republican's life during the Pennsylvania rally. Even when Trump goes golfing in Scotland, additional security measures are in place. While Donald Trump opted to drive a regular-looking buggy, Golf Force One was spotted, trailing the President on Scotland's golf course. (X/@LEFTY21211) He travels in 'Golf Force One', an armor-plated buggy. The vehicle has been seen at Royal Turnberry. This latest addition to Trump's security detail comes ten months after the assassination attempt. What is Golf Force One? Golf Force One is a black armor-plated vehicle that was seen trailing Trump closely on the golf course. The President opted to drive a standard-looking buggy over the off-road vehicle in tow. Some experts believed that Golf Force One had 'tell tale' signs of being an armored vehicle and bore similarities to 'the Beast', the official US Presidential car that accompanies the head of the state on most journeys, the Daily Mail reported. As for Golf Force One, it appears to have armor, as evidenced by the black band around the windscreen. There is indentation around the windows, suggesting there are more panels for protection. Further, windows are tinted since more layers may have been added for protection. There is also an armored panel in the rear, which looks to be made of hardened steel plating, the publication reported. An expert speaking to The Telegraph identified the vehicle as a Polaris Ranger XP that has been modified. Trump's cart would aim to offer passengers as much protection as possible, without weighing so much as to damage a golf course. While this vehicle normally costs around $26,900, the heavily modified version used for Trump's security is likely to have cost more. What are security measures are in place? Other security measures in place for Trump's outing include a stream of army trucks, road checkpoints, and snipers in place to protect the President.

Epstein furor undermines public trust, Republican election hopes, two US lawmakers say
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel The uproar over disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein could undermine public trust in the Trump administration , as well as Republican hopes of retaining control of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections, two U.S. lawmakers said on Representative Thomas Massie and Democratic Representative Ro Khanna , who want the House of Representatives to vote on their bipartisan resolution requiring full release of the government's Epstein files, said the lack of transparency is reinforcing public perceptions that the rich and powerful live beyond the reach of the judicial system."This is going to hurt Republicans in the midterms. The voters will be apathetic if we don't hold the rich and powerful accountable," Massie, a hardline conservative from Kentucky, told NBC's "Meet the Press" hope to add to their current 219-212 House majority - with four seats currently vacant - and 53-47 Senate majority in November 2026, although the U.S. political cycle traditionally punishes the party of the sitting president during midterm Washington Post reported late on Sunday that Trump was increasingly frustrated with his administration's handling of the furor around so, the president was hesitant to make personnel changes to avoid creating a "bigger spectacle" as his top officials underestimated the outrage from Trump's own base over the issue, the newspaper reported, citing unnamed said Attorney General Pam Bondi triggered "a crisis of trust" by saying there was no list of Epstein clients after previously implying that one existed. The change in position unleashed a tsunami of calls for her resignation from Trump's MAGA base."This is about trust in government," the California Democrat told "Meet the Press." "This is about being a reform agent of transparency."President Donald Trump, who on Sunday announced an EU trade deal in Scotland, has been frustrated by continued questions about his administration's handling of investigative files related to Epstein's criminal charges and 2019 death by suicide in and Khanna believe they can win enough support from fellow lawmakers to force a vote on their resolution when Congress returns from its summer recess in September. But they face opposition from Republican leaders including House Speaker Mike Johnson, who sent lawmakers home a day early to stymie Democratic efforts to force a vote before the who also appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press," said he favors a non-binding alternative resolution that calls for release of "credible" evidence, but which he said would better protect victims including minors."The Massie and Khanna discharge petition is reckless in the way that it is drafted and presented," Johnson said. "It does not adequately include those protections."Massie dismissed Johnson's claim as "a straw man" excuse. "Ro and I carefully crafted this legislation so that the victims' names will be redacted," he said. "They're hiding behind that."Trump has tried and failed so far to distract attention from the Epstein controversy six months into his second Saturday, Trump repeated his claims without evidence that 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and other Democrats should be prosecuted over payment for endorsements from celebrities including Oprah Winfrey, Beyonce and the Reverend Al week he accused former President Barack Obama of "treason" over how the Obama administration treated intelligence about Russian interference in U.S. elections nine years ago, drawing a rebuke from an Obama Senator Lindsey Graham, a staunch Trump ally, said on Sunday that Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's director of national intelligence, had found new information that investigators initially discovered no evidence of Russian election interference but changed their position after Obama told them to keep looking."I'm not alleging he committed treason, but I am saying it bothers me," Graham told "Meet the Press."Democratic Representative Jason Crow dismissed Gabbard's claims, telling the "Fox News Sunday" program that the national intelligence director had turned herself into "a weapon of mass distraction."The Department of Justice has said it is forming a strike force to assess Gabbard's claims.

Marco Rubio backs JD Vance for 2028, but keeps door open to White House bid
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has put to rest speculation that he's preparing to challenge Vice President JD Vance in the 2028 presidential race—at least for now. Speaking to Fox News, Rubio praised Vance and expressed hope that his 'close friend' runs for president. 'Well, I think JD Vance would be a great nominee. If he decides he wants to do that. I think he's doing a great job as Vice President. He's a close friend and I hope he intends to do it,' Rubio said. While Rubio didn't entirely close the door on a 2028 bid, he emphasised that his attention remains on his current responsibilities as America's top diplomat. 'It's kind of early, you know, but being in the role that I'm in here at the Secretary of State, I really don't play in politics,' he said. 'I want to do this job as long as the president allows me to do it and stay in that job, which would keep me here all the way through January of 2028.' He added that there are official restrictions on his political involvement: 'There's actually rules against me being involved in domestic politics.' Since being appointed Secretary of State under President Trump, Rubio has taken on several demanding assignments, including overseeing the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The 2028 election will likely mark the first time since 2016 that both major parties will not have an incumbent or past nominee leading the field. Republicans, in particular, are expected to face a transition, with Donald Trump unlikely to be the party's standard bearer. Rubio's comments may be an early signal that he's positioning himself as a supporter—or potential running mate—for a Vance-led ticket. Rubio also reflected on his 2016 rivalry with then-candidate Donald Trump, who famously dubbed him 'Little Marco' during the bruising Republican primary. 'I knew who he was, obviously, but I'd never met him,' Rubio said. 'We happened to be competing for the same thing. So in any competition… punches are going to be thrown. But then that ends and then we're on the same team because he's a Republican nominee and I'm a Republican.'
