Kyrsten Sinema says in court filings she had a ‘romantic’ relationship with guard
AI Summary
Former Senator Kyrsten Sinema admitted in court filings to a "romantic and intimate" relationship with Matthew Ammel, a married member of her security detail. The admission came in response to a lawsuit filed by Ammel's estranged wife, Heather, who accuses Sinema of breaking up her marriage under North Carolina's "homewrecker" law. Sinema is seeking to dismiss the case, arguing she has no connection to North Carolina and that her interactions with Ammel primarily occurred outside the state during his work for her security detail between early 2023 and November 2024. Heather Ammel's lawsuit alleges that Sinema pursued Matthew despite knowing he was married, citing "romantic and lascivious" messages and a photo. The lawsuit also claims Sinema paid for Matthew's psychedelic treatment, which Sinema denies.
