Police are investigating an apparent altercation between Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert and her ex-husband at a Colorado restaurant.

Silt Police Chief Mike Kite confirmed to CBS News that an “active investigation” was under way but no further information was provided.

It is unclear what happened but Ms Boebert said: “I didn’t punch Jayson in the face and no-one was arrested.”

In her statement released on Sunday, she added that she was consulting a lawyer about false claims being made against her.

In September, Ms Boebert was escorted out of a theatre in Denver during a performance of the musical Beetlejuice, after being accused of disruptive behaviour.

“I plead guilty to laughing and singing too loud!,” Ms Boebert added on X, formerly Twitter, at the time.
