Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is accusing President Donald Trump of blocking a non-controversial water project affecting her district after the lawmaker challenged Trump to force the release of the Epstein files in November.

Because nothing says America First' like denying clean drinking water to 50,000 people in Southeast Colorado, many of whom enthusiastically voted for him in all three elections," Boebert said, according to Colorado news reporter Kyle Clark.

"I thought the [Trump] campaign was about lowering costs and cutting red tape," Boebert added.
