Tyler Boebert: Rep. Lauren Boebert's Eldest Son Charged with Child Abuse Over Incident Involving Her Grandson
The news was first reported by Denver Westword on Saturday, which cited records from the Windsor Police Department. Rep. Boebert downplayed the seriousness of the charge, explaining that it stemmed from "a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of our house." In her statement, the 38-year-old grandmother called it an "one-time incident" and said the boy wasn't harmed.

Child Protective Services met with the family, according to the report. "I am confident this is a one-time incident that we have addressed as a family," Boebert who represents Colorado's fourth congressional district, said.
In 2023, the three-term congresswoman revealed that her son, Tyler Boebert, was expecting a child with his girlfriend when he was 17.

This incident marks the latest in a series of legal troubles involving the eldest son of the MAGA Republican.
In September 2022, Tyler crashed his father's SUV, causing serious injuries to his passenger, who suffered several concussions and deep cuts, according to reports. He was ticketed for careless driving, but under a plea agreement with Garfield County prosecutors, the charge was reduced to a lesser offense for having "defective headlights."
Then, in January 2024, Tyler called the police, claiming that his father had physically assaulted him at their home.
Jayson Boebert was arrested after allegedly "pushed Tyler to the ground and pushed his thumb into his mouth," according to an arrest affidavit from Garfield County.
One Trouble after Another
At the time of this latest incident, Tyler was already serving a 24-month probation sentence, which he received after pleading guilty to attempted identity theft in October 2024. The guilty plea was part of a deal with prosecutors after he was arrested on 22 criminal counts — including five felonies — linked to a series of thefts across Colorado in February 2024.

One of the victims, a 33-year-old woman, alleged in a lawsuit that she had been saving for brain surgery but lost everything in the robbery.
Another lawsuit claimed that Tyler recorded a sex tape with one of his female partners in the crime spree and shared the video with another member of the group.

As part of his probation, Boebert was required to complete 80 hours of community service and was prohibited from using controlled substances, according to Westword.
It remains unclear whether the misdemeanor charge will be considered a violation of Tyler Boebert's probation terms.
He is set to appear in Weld County Court on September 8 in connection with the child abuse charge.

Epstein associate Maxwell seeks immunity as condition for testimony to US Congress

REUTERS/Jane Rosenberg/File Photo WASHINGTON - A longtime associate of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the subject of a political storm surrounding President Donald Trump, on Tuesday sought immunity from future prosecution as a condition for testifying to a U.S. congressional committee. The Republican-led House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform aims to conduct a deposition of British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell on August 11 at the prison in Tallahassee, Florida, where she is serving a 20-year sentence. Maxwell, Epstein's longtime girlfriend, was convicted in New York in 2021 of helping Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls. "Ms. Maxwell cannot risk further criminal exposure in a politically charged environment without formal immunity," Maxwell's lawyer David Markus told Representative James Comer, who chairs the House committee, in a letter. Markus laid down additional conditions for a deposition, including conducting it somewhere other than the prison and being provided with the committee's questions in advance. Maxwell, Markus added, would testify to the committee in a public setting if she were to be granted clemency. Maxwell is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn her conviction. Trump has said he was not considering a presidential pardon for Maxwell. Questions over Trump's past relationship with Epstein, who died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking minors, and his administration's handling of records related to the case have dogged the president for weeks, including during a weekend visit to Scotland. Trump knew Epstein socially in the 1990s and early 2000s. Trump has said that he cut off ties with Epstein years before Epstein's death. Democrats in Congress and some of Trump's core supporters have demanded the release of documents involving Epstein and Maxwell. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

In addition, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer called on the FBI to conduct a "counterintelligence threat assessment" to determine the risk to U.S. national security if a foreign entity were to gain access to the Epstein files. "Could our adversaries use that information to blackmail someone like the president or other senior leaders in government?" Schumer asked. REUTERS

Trump approval rating sinks to 40%, the lowest of his term, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox U.S. President Donald Trump gestures before boarding Air Force One as he returns to Washington, D.C., in Lossiemouth, Scotland, Britain, July 29, 2025. REUTERS/Evelyn Hockstein WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump's approval rating dropped one percentage point to 40%, the lowest level of his second term in office, as Americans remained concerned about his handling of the economy and immigration, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found. The three-day poll, which closed on Monday, surveyed 1,023 U.S. adults nationwide and had a margin of error of 3 percentage points. It showed a nation deeply polarized over Trump, with 83% of Republicans and just 3% of Democrats approving of his performance. About one-third of independents approved. Trump had a 41% approval rating in Reuters/Ipsos' most recent prior poll, conducted on July 15 and 16. The Republican campaigned on promises to supercharge the U.S. economy and crack down on immigration, and the poll found that Americans gave him mixed marks on both those areas, where his administration is using aggressive tactics. Some 38% of respondents approved of Trump's handling of the economy, up from 35% approval in the mid-July poll. His numbers were also up slightly on immigration, with 43% of respondents approving, compared with 41% in the earlier poll. All the shifts were within the poll's margin of error. REUTERS

Late-night talk shows alienating viewers with their political stances: Jay Leno, Entertainment News
Jay Leno believes late-night talk shows are alienating viewers with their political stances. The 75-year-old comic — who hosted The Tonight Show from 1992 until 2009 and again from 2010 to 2014 — was able to appeal to a "whole audience" by staying neutral with his humour and thinks hosts now have to accept they'll never gain universal appeal because they have to offer their opinions on the state of the world. In an interview with The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, the organisation's president and CEO David Trulio noted Jay's "balanced" approach to humour, and he replied: "I got hate letters saying, 'You and your Republican friends,' and another saying, 'I hope you and your Democratic buddies are happy,' over the same joke. "That's how you get a whole audience. Now, you have to be content with half the audience, because you have to give your opinion. "I knew Rodney [Dangerfield] 40 years, and I have no idea if he was a Democrat or Republican. "We never discussed politics; we just discussed jokes. I like to think that people come to a comedy show to get away from the pressures of life. I love political humour, don't get me wrong, but people wind up cosying too much to one side or the other." Jay believes presenters should use comedy to find common ground with all their potential viewers. He said: "I don't think anybody wants to hear a lecture. Why shoot for just half an audience? Why not try to get the whole? "I like to bring people into the big picture. I don't understand why you would alienate one particular group. Or just don't do it at all. I'm not saying you have to throw your support [on one side]. But just do what's funny." Jay's comments came after CBS axed The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, shortly after the network's parent company Paramount Global settled a US$16 million (S$20.5 million) lawsuit with US President Donald Trump after he alleged Kamala Harris' 60 Minutes interview was deceptively edited. On his show, following the settlement, Stephen described the move as a "big, fat bribe" as Paramount awaits FDA approval for its merger with Skydance. And the presenter has also questioned the network's statement that the move to end the show was a "purely a financial decision". He asked: "How could it be purely a financial decision if The Late Show is No. 1 in ratings?" Stephen has pledged to use the 10 months before the programme goes off-air to speak "unvarnished truth to power". He teased: "Folks, I'm gonna go ahead and say it, cancel culture has gone too far. Over the weekend, it sunk in that they're killing off our show. "But they made one mistake, they left me alive. And now, for the next 10 months, the gloves are off. "I can finally speak unvarnished truth to power and say what I really think about Donald Trump, starting right now. "I don't care for him. Doesn't have the skillset to be president. Not a good fit, that's all." [[nid:720697]]
