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.

    Oh I’m not referring to the truth of the perjury accusation, or speaking in support of Wheeler or Muckrakers.

    I was talking about the truthfulness of the article posted by OP. Based on other information available, I believe that Wheeler/Muckrakers has accused Boebert of perjury, as the article describes.

      No, they are accusing her of defamation. Perjury is when you lie under oath, which she has not done yet.

      By claiming defamation, they can get her under oath and then hope she perjuries herself.

      If you go back to Bill Clinton, nothing he did was a crime until he perjured himself.

        They are accusing her of perjury in her filing for the defamation case.

        So, they are now accusing her of both defamation and perjury.
