The political activist who filed a federal defamation lawsuit against Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert vowed to seek perjury charges against the MAGA mouthpiece for allegedly making a fact-challenged declaration in federal court, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

David B. Wheeler, the head of the political action committee (PAC) American Muckrakers, charged the two-term Republican allegedly fibbed in the sworn statement seeking to dismiss the case — and he’s eager to grill Boebert in an all-encompassing deposition.

“We intend to refer Boebert to the appropriate authorities when we prove she lied on the affidavit she attached to her motion to dismiss,” Wheeler exclusively told RadarOnline.com. "We’re going to hold her feet to the fire…We’re going to ask her on the record, under the penalty of perjury.”

“I’ve had lawyers say they would pay me to be in the room for Boebert’s deposition” he added. "This will be the mother of all depositions because she’s opened so many cans of worms. We’re going to talk about Jan. 6th, we’re going to talk about abortions and everything else.”

As RadarOnline.com reported, Boebert was forced to declare she has “never been a drug addict or stripper” in the sensational lawsuit in Colorado federal court where she is accused of slandering Wheeler on television news by refuting his allegations.

    Even if they got her in a deposition, it’s not a free pass to compel her to answer anything that they want to ask. Questions have to be relevant to the case at hand. Demanding answers about Jan6 would seem out of bounds for a defamation case.

      It would since it’s not related to the issue.

      What they forget is they’ll have show their evidence. She doesn’t have to prove she wasn’t something. They have to prove their claim is true.

      I dislike her but I don’t like BS accusations.
