DENVER (AP) — A former aide to U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado alleges in a lawsuit that the Republican congressman disregarded coronavirus safety protocols in his Washington office even after he and staff members were infected, let one of his sons live in the basement of the U.S. Capitol and ordered staff to run personal errands for his family.
The lawsuit, filed by Brandon Pope in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, contends that Pope was fired after raising concerns about safety conditions in the workplace, The Denver Post reported.
