The lawsuit also said the congressman allowed his son to live in a storage space in the basement of the Capitol for weeks when his son was relocating to Washington.
In the suit, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, former Lamborn military aide Brandon Pope claims he was the victim of retaliation for “seeking to protect employees from unsafe conditions in the workplace.”
According to the lawsuit, “Lamborn did not require employees in the District Office to wear masks, claiming that he would not allow House Leadership to dictate how he ran his office, and he did not permit all employees to social distance. Worse, when Lamborn and other senior members of his staff became infected with COVID-19 in the fall of 2020, Lamborn refused to implement or follow reasonable and responsible COVID-19 protocols.”
The lawsuit alleges the Colorado congressman ignored House rules for Covid-19 and asked his staff to complete personal tasks for his wife and son.
WASHINGTON (CN) A former staffer of Representative Doug Lamborn filed a lawsuit on Thursday accusing the Colorado Republican of having a “reckless and dangerous” approach to Covid-19 which needlessly exposed himself and his staff to the virus.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that Lamborn didn’t require his employees to wear masks or social distance, called the virus a “hoax,” and slept in his office during the same week that some of his staff had tested positive for Covid.
