11:33 AM PT -- La policía de Silt dice que no encontraron pruebas creíbles de violencia doméstica contra la diputada Boebert en su investigación sobre el altercado del sábado en Miner's Claim, Colorado.

El departamento dio a conocer los resultados de sus hallazgos el miércoles y básicamente están señalando a Jayson, diciendo que Lauren fue cooperativa y servicial esa noche, mientras que él estaba "altamente intoxicado, gritandole a los oficiales y no cooperó con la investigación".

Dicen que están cerrando el asunto por falta de pruebas de violencia doméstica contra Lauren y van a dejar que la oficina del Fiscal se haga cargo de todo lo demás que se le acusa a Jayson.

TMZ ha obtenido las órdenes de detención emitidas contra el ex marido de Lauren Boebert, las cuales describen dos incidentes diferentes que pintan a Jayson como alguien fuera de control.

En los documentos del altercado del sábado por la noche entre la congresista y su ex —obtenido por TMZ— los oficiales dicen que recibieron una llamada denunciando violencia doméstica, solo para recibir otra llamada de Boebert... en el despacho destacaron algunas partes como: "Acabo de tocar tu nariz" y Jayson gritando: "Ella me dio un puñetazo en la cara".

Finalmente, cuando los oficiales llegaron, dicen que se encontraron con Lauren y Jayson en el exterior del restaurante Miner's Claim, donde determinaron que Lauren y Jayson habían llegado allí para arreglar las cosas y discutir el futuro de su relación. Boebert es citado en los documentos diciendo que estaban tratando de llegar a buenos términos, pero las cosas se pusieron feas.

Por la razón que sea, los policías dicen que las cosas parecen haberse puesto físicas. Jayson estaba reclamando que Lauren le dio un puñetazo en la cara, Lauren dijo que simplemente lo tocó con el dedo. Los policías dicen que Jayson comenzó a actuar bulliciosamente y se negó a permanecer quieto y seguir las órdenes, supuestamente exigiendo más bebida y negándose a abandonar el lugar cuando el manager se lo exigió.

Después de un montón de idas y venidas, los documentos dicen Jayson finalmente tuvo que ser "escoltado físicamente fuera del lugar" e incluso trató de detener a los oficiales "agarrando el marco de la puerta." Esa noche no fue detenido por lo sucedido, ni tampoco Lauren. Una orden de detención por separado fue emitida por otro presunto incidente.

La Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Garfield dice que recibieron una llamada del hijo de Luren y Jason de 18 años de edad —Tyler— para informar de algún tipo de altercado físico relacionado con su padre.

En pocas palabras, Tyler alegó que Jayson estaba en su casa familiar y se enojó porque Tyler tenía a su bebé durmiendo en un cesto de la ropa con la ropa en ella, esto supuestamente estalló en una pelea entre padre e hijo, con Tyler diciendo que Jayson metió su pulgar en la boca.

Tyler también afirma que Jayson agarró un rifle y Tyler finalmente llamó a su madre —Lauren— quien le dijo que llamara al 911. Cuando Tyler les dijo lo que pasó, los oficiales fueron capaces de obtener una orden de arresto contra Jayson por uso prohibido de un arma, acoso y asalto en tercer grado.

Hemos llegado a la oficina de Boebert para hacer comentarios, pero hasta ahora no hay respuesta.

11:33 AM PT -- Silt PD is now saying they found no credible evidence of DV against Rep. Lauren Boebert in their investigation of Saturday's altercation at Miner's Claim in Colorado.

The department released the results of their findings Wednesday, and are basically pointing the finger at Jayson here -- saying Lauren was cooperative and helpful that night, whereas they claim Jayson was "highly intoxicated, yelling at officers, and was uncooperative with the investigation."

They say due to the lack of evidence of domestic violence against Lauren, they're closing the matter ... and letting the D.A.'s office deal with Jayson on everything else he's accused of.

TMZ has obtained the arrest warrants issued for Lauren Boebert's ex-husband -- describing two different alleged incidents over the course of a few days that paint Jayson as pretty out of control ... at least according to law enforcement.

First, in the docs pertaining to Saturday evening's altercation between the Congresswoman and her ex -- obtained by TMZ -- cops say they got a call for potential DV, only to then get another call from Boebert herself ... which dispatch says featured LB saying "I just touched your nose" and Jayson yelling, "She punched me in the face."

Eventually when officers arrived, they say they ran into Lauren and Jayson on the outside the Miner's Claim restaurant in Silt, Co -- where they determined Lauren and Jayson had come there to hash things out and discuss the future of their relationship. Boebert is quoted in the docs as saying they were trying to get on good terms, but things got ugly.

For whatever reason, cops say things appear to have gotten physical -- Jayson was claiming Lauren punched him in the face, Lauren said it was nothing but a touch with her finger. As they were trying to go back and forth and collect info from them and witnesses, cops say Jayson started acting boisterously and refused to stay put and follow commands -- allegedly demanding more booze and refusing to leave the joint when he was asked by management.

After a lot of back and forth, the docs say Jayson had to eventually be "physically escorted off the premise" and even tried to stop officers "by grabbing the door frame." He was not arrested that evening over whatever happened, and neither was Lauren. Fast-forward to Tuesday, and a separate arrest warrant was issued over another alleged incident.

The Garfield County Sheriff's Office says they got a call from Lauren and Jayson's 18-year-old son, Tyler, to report some kind of physical altercation Tyler claims occurred with his dad.

Long story short, Tyler alleged that Jayson was at their family home and got pissed because Tyler had his baby sleeping in a laundry basket with clothes in it, which allegedly erupted into a brawl between father and son, with Tyler saying Jayson stuck his thumb in his mouth.

Tyler also claims Jayson grabbed a rifle at one point, and Tyler eventually called his mom, Lauren, who told him to call 911 ... and when Tyler told them what happened, officers were able to get an arrest warrant for Jayson for prohibited use of a weapon, harassment, and assault in the third degree.

We've reached out to Boebert's office for comment ... so far, no word back.

Hunter Biden's causing chaos in Congress ... with Republicans and Democrats at each other's throats over a "white privilege" jab aimed at President Biden's son.

Hunter made a surprise appearance Wednesday on Capitol Hill, strolling into a hearing where lawmakers were starting the process of holding him in criminal contempt of Congress ... and his presence caused quite the stir.

South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace quickly took aim at Hunter, saying ... "You are the epitome of white privilege, coming into the Oversight Committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a Congressional subpoena to be deposed, what are you afraid of?

Nancy didn't stop there, adding ... "You have no balls to come up here."

Hunter sat quietly as chaos ensued with lawmakers yelling over one another before order was somewhat restored.

Soon after, Hunter left the room and the attention followed ... but the "white privilege" remark left a mark ... at least with Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who said it was a "spit in the face" as a Black woman. Jasmine ripped into Nancy and the GOP, saying if anyone is the epitome of white privilege it's them.

BTW, there was even more chaos once Hunter abruptly left the room ... he was being followed by a massive crush of reporters -- a couple of whom asked him about his prior drug use, particularly as it pertains to crack. Check it out ... it's absolutely wild.

Ecuador has been thrust into utter chaos after a major drug lord escaped from prison over the weekend -- spurring cartel gang members to wreak havoc all throughout the country.

Cities like Guayaquil and others are being subjected to stickups and raids on the behalf of thugs who are running amok in the streets ... storming TV stations, holding people hostage at gunpoint, and in many cases -- outright executions of law enforcement officials.

The videos making the rounds online right now are absolutely stunning in the worst possible way -- these cartel killers are recording themselves indiscriminately opening fire in public.

Like we said ... it's bedlam of the highest degree, and the disturbing images surfacing are causing alarm in the international community. Ecuador's government has already issued a state of emergency, and military personnel has been deployed to get a handle on things.

There've been countless arrests -- but it's unclear if this attempted crackdown will be effective ... Ecuador has been at the center of corruption allegations for years, so it remains to be seen if their criminal justice system can keep things in check there.

As far as what sparked all this ... it appears to be stemming from a brash prison break for a guy named Adolfo 'Fito' Macias -- who busted out on Sunday, and who leads Los Choneros.

Now, he and his goons are a putting on a show of force ... and being met with pushback not just from law enforcement, but from citizens as well -- many of whom are taking up arms.

Ecuador se ha sumido en el caos absoluto después de que un importante capo de la droga escapara de la cárcel durante el fin de semana, lo que ha llevado a los miembros de las bandas del cártel a sembrar el caos por todo el país.

Ciudades como Guayaquil y otras están siendo objeto de asaltos y redadas en nombre de los matones que están corriendo fuera de control por las calles. Han asaltado estaciones de televisión, tomado personas como rehenes a punta de pistola, y en muchos casos, ejecutado directamente a los funcionarios encargados de hacer cumplir la ley.

Los videos que están circulando en línea en este momento son absolutamente impresionantes y de la peor forma posible. Estos asesinos del cártel se están grabando indiscriminadamente mientras abren fuego en público.

Como decíamos, es un caos del más alto grado y las perturbadoras imágenes están causando alarma en la comunidad internacional. El gobierno de Ecuador ya ha decretado el estado de emergencia y se ha desplegado personal militar para controlar la situación.

Ha habido innumerables detenciones, pero no está claro si este intento de represión será eficaz. Ecuador ha estado en el centro de acusaciones de corrupción durante años, por lo que está por verse si su sistema de justicia penal puede mantener las cosas bajo control.

En cuanto a lo que provocó todo esto, parece que se deriva de la fuga de la cárcel de un tipo llamado Adolfo 'Fito' Macías, que escapó el domingo y lidera a Los Choneros.

Ahora, él y sus matones se enfrentan al repudio no solo de las fuerzas del orden, sino de los ciudadanos, muchos de los cuales están tomando las armas.

Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon definitely don't see eye to eye on a lot of stuff, but that didn't stop the former Fox News anchor from congratulating Don on joining him on Team X.

As you know, Don entered a partnership with X -- formerly Twitter -- on Tuesday, where he'll have a new 30-minute show airing on the platform 3 times a week, and which comes after his firing from CNN last year.

The whole thing was similar to Tucker's situation, as he's already got a show on X. Remember, the 2 of them got canned on the same day, and Tucker extended an olive branch to the guy, despite their long-standing beef ... telling him, "Congratulations. It’s a new world.”

Doesn't mean the dust has settled in their drama, though -- Don replied in the most polite, yet unenthusiastic way possible ... "Thanks Tucker."

Tucker and Don would often butt heads while they were doing their cable news shows ... with Tucker insulting Don and mispronouncing his name on purpose, and Don calling Tucker for what he saw as wild takes.

7:29 AM PT -- Silt PD Chief Mike Kite tells TMZ Jayson Boebert's arrest Tuesday stems from two different arrest warrants -- one from their own department and another from the Garfield Sheriff's Office, noting that the offenses on their end (Silt PD) pertain to disorderly conduct, obstructing and criminal trespass ... whereas the Garfield charges relate to the other violations.

We're told the restaurant incident from this weekend is still under investigation, and one other interesting thing ... the Chief here tells us Rep. Boebert did NOT punch Jayson twice, as some witnesses claimed. The whole thing is still a little hazy, but Kite says the probe should be wrapped soon -- with more answers to come.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert's ex-husband Jayson was just arrested for a number of offenses after the two got into a nasty altercation in Colorado over the weekend.

Jayson was cooling his heels in the Garfield County Jail on six misdemeanors/petty violations Tuesday before he was later released on $2,500 bond, a rep for the correctional facility told TMZ.

He was booked on prohibited use of weapons, assault, harassment and obstructing a peace officer – all misdemeanors -- as well as trespass and disorderly conduct, both of which are considered petty crimes.

The Silt Police Department has been investigating the former couple since Saturday when the two got into a confrontation in a local restaurant.

Eyewitnesses told TMZ that Lauren slugged Jayson twice in the nose, but the Republican Colorado congresswoman categorically denied the accusations. Our sources say an unknown person called 911, but quickly hung up.

Silt PD has yet to confirm Jayson's bust was connected to the restaurant incident, but we'll keep you posted on any updates. For the record, Lauren has not been arrested or charged in connection with breaking the law.

As you may recall, Lauren filed for divorce from Jayson last April after more than 15 years of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences." Their divorce was reportedly finalized in October 2023.

David Grusch está hablando acerca de las secuelas y la campaña de desprestigio que se ha erguido para desacreditar sus alegaciones en la histórica audiencia de julio de 2023 en nuestro especial de tres partes "TMZ Presenta: Revolución OVNI".

Grusch le dice al cineasta y periodista Jeremy Corbell que no se arrepiente de su testimonio en Washington DC, luego de afirmar que los EE.UU. poseía "restos biológicos no humanos" recuperados de naves estrelladas.

Le dice a Corbell que sus esfuerzos para obtener la verdad han sido lentos y constantes,  aunque ahora es parte de algunas acciones del Congreso detrás de las escenas.

Corbell dice que Grusch diciéndole al mundo que los ovnis son reales es un signo de los tiempos, porque el público en general está harto de que le mientan sobre su presencia en el planeta Tierra.

Puedes escuchar el relato completo de Grusch después del Congreso en la segunda parte de "TMZ Presenta: UFO Revolution", ya disponible en Tubi.

UFO whistleblower David Grusch is speaking out about the smear campaign used to discredit the allegations he made before Congress in his landmark July 2023 hearing ... part of our 3-part event, "TMZ Presents: UFO Revolution."

Grusch tells filmmaker and journalist Jeremy Corbell that despite pushback, he has no regrets over his testimony in D.C. ... where he claimed the U.S. military is holding 'non-human biologics' recovered from crashed crafts.

He says his efforts to get the truth out there have been slow and steady, telling Corbell Congress has been responding, behind the scenes, to some of the issues raised during his testimony.

Corbell says Grusch coming forward to tell the world UFOs are real is a sign of the times ... because the general public is sick of being lied to about their presence in U.S. airspace, and around the planet.

Melania Trump's mother has passed away -- this according to the former First Lady.

The ex-FLOTUS announced the sad news about her mom, Amalija Knavs, Tuesday on X -- writing, "It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved mother, Amalija."

She adds, "Amalija Knavs was a strong woman who always carried herself with grace, warmth, and dignity.  She was entirely devoted to her husband, daughters, grandson, and son-in-law. We will miss her beyond measure and continue to honor and love her legacy."

Melania did not reveal a cause of death -- but her mother's health had recently been in the news ... with her husband, Donald Trump, reportedly telling a NYE crowd at Mar-a-Lago that Amalija had fallen "very ill" ... while suggesting she was hospitalized in Miami.

Melania wasn't on hand for Trump's New Year's bash ... and he sent well-wishes to both.

Amalija was of European descent, but actually immigrated to the States and became a U.S. citizen alongside her husband, Victor, in 2018 -- something MT touted at the time with pride. Before that, they'd been here in America through green card sponsorships, via their daughter.

She was reportedly close with Melania, and had even started to grow a solid relationship with her grandson, Barron. Amalija had been living at Mar-a-Lago of late -- and before that, they even lived part-time at the White House ... having been spotted countless times.

She was 78.

La hija de Coretta Scott King parece estar atacando a Jonathan Majors después de que el actor mencionara a la viuda del Dr. Martin Luther King en su primera entrevista desde que fue declarado culpable de agresión y acoso.

La Dra. Bernice King, hija menor de Coretta y MLK, parece haber arremetido contra Jonathan en una publicación en las redes sociales el martes, diciendo: "Mi madre no era un accesorio".

Recordemos que el juicio por agresión de Jonathan incluyó un audio de él diciéndole a su ex novia Grace Jabbari —la que fue condenado por agredir y acosar— que fuera más como Coretta y Michelle Obama mientras declaraba: "Soy un gran hombre".

Majors volvió a invocar el nombre de Coretta en una entrevista con ABC —que se emitió el lunes— para elogiar el apoyo inquebrantable de su novia Meagan Good durante el juicio.

Jonathan le dijo de Megan: "Ella es un ángel, me ha sostenido como una Coretta. Estoy tan bendecido de tenerla".

Ha habido una tonelada de reacciones en línea acerca de Jonathan usando el nombre de Coretta de nuevo, y mientras Bernice no lo está llamando por su nombre, parece bastante claro que es a él a quien se están refiriendo aquí.

Bernice dice que su madre "era una defensora de la paz antes de conocer a mi padre y fue fundamental para que él hablara en contra de la guerra de Vietnam" y añade: "Por favor, entiendan, mi mamá era una fuerza de la naturaleza".

Coretta Scott King's daughter appears to be taking a swipe at Jonathan Majors after the actor name-dropped Dr. Martin Luther King's widow in his first interview since being found guilty of assault and harassment.

Dr. Bernice King, Coretta and MLK's youngest daughter, seemingly slammed Jonathan in a social media post Tuesday, saying ... "My mother wasn't a prop."

Remember ... Jonathan's assault trial included audio of him telling his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari -- the one he was convicted of assaulting and harassing -- to be more like Coretta and Michelle Obama while declaring, "I'm a great man."

Majors again invoked Coretta's name in an interview with ABC -- which aired Monday -- in praise of girlfriend Meagan Good's unwavering support during the trial.

Jonathan said of Meagan ... "She's an angel ... she's held me down like a Coretta. I'm so blessed to have her."

There's been a ton of backlash online about Jonathan using Coretta's name again ... and while Bernice is not calling him out by name, it seems pretty clear he's who she's targeting here.

Bernice says her mother "was a peace advocate before she met my father and was instrumental in him speaking out against the Vietnam War" ... and adds, "Please understand…my mama was a force."

Bill Clinton and CA Governor Gavin Newsom, spent last week at a swanky resort in Mexico ... not long after Bill was named in the docs regarding Jeffrey Epstein's infamous past.

Check out the pics, obtained by TMZ -- showing the former prez and the current Governor sitting enjoying their time at the Four Seasons Resort in Tamarindo, Mexico. As you can see, they were seated at the same table -- and seemed to be enjoying each other's company.

Eyewitnesses tell us Gavin joined Bill and his wife, Hillary Clinton, for dinner on Thursday ... sitting around the table for 3 hours, with everyone in great spirits. No word on the spirits of the beverage variety, though.

Bill and Hillary grabbed breakfast together the next day, too -- as part of their south-of-the-border getaway.

As we reported, Bill was named quite a bit in loads of docs unsealed last week -- including in a deposition given by Johanna Sjöberg, who claimed Epstein told her "Clinton likes them young," referring to girls.

Bill denied any knowledge of Epstein's crimes and has claimed to have never visited his infamous island in the U.S. Virgin Islands ... although he took trips in Epstein's private jet as part of humanitarian efforts with the Clinton Foundation.

It's interesting that Newsom's hanging out with BC here, especially during this newsworthy time. Of course, Bill was once our President -- and many believe GN has presidential aspirations as well ... so perhaps he's taking a tip or two from old Bubba.

Bill Clinton y el gobernador de California Gavin Newsom, estuvieron juntos en un elegante resort de México la semana pasada, no mucho después de que Bill fuera nombrado en los documentos sobre el infame pasado de Jeffrey Epstein.

Echa un vistazo a las fotos obtenidas por TMZ, que muestran al ex presidente y al actual gobernador sentados y disfrutando de su tiempo en el Four Seasons Resort en Tamarindo, México. Como se puede ver, estaban sentados en la misma mesa y parecían estar disfrutando de la compañía del otro.

Testigos presenciales nos dicen que Gavin se unió a Bill y su esposa Hillary Clinton para la cena del jueves. Estuvieron sentados alrededor de la mesa durante 3 horas y todo el mundo estuvo de muy buen humor. Sin embargo, no se sabe nada de las bebidas.

Bill y Hillary desayunaron juntos al día siguiente, como parte de su escapada al sur de la frontera.

Como informamos, Bill fue nombrado en algunos documentos revelados la semana pasada, incluyendo una declaración de Johanna Sjöberg, quien afirmó que Epstein le dijo que a "Clinton le gustan jóvenes", refiriéndose a las niñas.

Bill negó cualquier conocimiento de los crímenes de Epstein y ha afirmado que nunca visitó su infame isla, ubicada en las Islas Vírgenes de Estados Unidos. Aunque hizo viajes en el jet privado de Epstein como parte de los esfuerzos humanitarios con la Fundación Clinton.

Es interesante que Newsom esté pasando el rato con Bill Clinton aquí, especialmente durante este momento de interés periodístico. Por supuesto, Bill fue nuestro Presidente una vez y muchos creen Gavin Newsom tiene aspiraciones presidenciales también, así que tal vez esté recibiendo algún consejo o dos de la vieja escuela.

El cineasta y periodista Jeremy Corbell dice que han quedado atrás los días en que se estigmatizaba a la gente que informaba sobre los fenómenos inexplicables en el cielo, y eso ha abierto la puerta a una investigación en profundidad sobre la verdad detrás de los ovnis.

Jeremy se unió a nosotros en "TMZ Live" el martes para hablar de nuestro evento de 3 partes, "TMZ Presenta: UFO Revolution", que ya se puede ver en Tubi. De entrada, explicó por qué la palabra "revolución" es tan apropiada.

Él dice que los tiempos ciertamente han cambiado y que la gente está tomando la discusión sobre los OVNIS (o UAP) más en serio y que esas conversaciones están provocando un cambio y un movimiento para conocer la verdad.

Jeremy espera que más personas den a conocer sus hallazgos este año y nos dice por qué ahora es más importante que nunca.

La segunda parte sale el miércoles y cuenta con la entrevista de Jeremy con el denunciante David Grusch. En ella habla de las consecuencias de haber testificado ante el Congreso el año pasado y sobre lo que vio durante su tiempo como oficial de la Fuerza Aérea y exoficial de inteligencia.

Filmmaker and journalist Jeremy Corbell says gone are the days of a stigma on people reporting unexplained phenomenon in the sky -- and that's opened the door for an in-depth investigation into their search for truth about UFOs.

Jeremy joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday to talk about our 3-part event, "TMZ Presents: UFO Revolution," which is streaming now on Tubi. Right off the bat, he explained why the word "revolution" is so fitting.

He says times certainly have changed, and folks are taking the UFO (or UAP) discussion more seriously ... which is how conversations are sparking change and movement toward the truth.

Jeremy's hoping more people will come forward about their findings this year ... and he tells us exactly why it's important now more than ever.

Part 2 drops Wednesday, and features Jeremy's sit-down with whistleblower David Grusch, talking about the aftermath of testifying in front of Congress last year, and about what he saw during his time as an Air Force officer and former intelligence official.
