“Trump torpedoed state's water supply to punish Boebert for Epstein files”
MISLEADING
The evidence shows that Trump vetoed a clean water project and that Representative Lauren Boebert *suggested* or *claimed* this was retaliation for her support of the Epstein files. However, the evidence does not confirm as a fact that he 'torpedoed' the supply specifically to punish her; it reports her allegation of the motive.
