"In the court documents, filed on 12 March, Sinema asked a federal judge to dismiss the case, saying in sworn statements that she has no connection to North Carolina, where the bodyguard, Matthew Joseph Ammel, resided with his wife and children. She noted that she was physically intimate with Ammel in four states as well as Washington DC but not once in North Carolina."
"Between early 2023 and 1 November 2024, Sinema says 100% of her phone calls and email communications with Ammel occurred when he was outside North Carolina and largely related to his work as part of her Senate security detail, which involved frequent travel. She states that she was unaware Ammel lived in North Carolina with his family until December 2023, more than a year after he first began working security for her."
"According to Heather's lawsuit, she had a good and loving marriage with her husband before Sinema interfered. She accused Sinema of pursuing Matthew despite knowing he was married. Heather maintained she discovered romantic and lascivious messages exchanged between the two."
Kyrsten Sinema, former Arizona senator, acknowledged in court filings a multi-state affair with Matthew Joseph Ammel, a married member of her security detail during her final year in office. Heather Ammel, his estranged wife, sued Sinema under North Carolina's homewrecker law, claiming the senator interfered in her marriage. Sinema's legal response argues she has no connection to North Carolina and requests case dismissal. She detailed physical intimacy occurring in California, New York, Washington DC, Colorado, and Arizona between May 2024 and November 2024. Sinema claims she was unaware Ammel lived in North Carolina with his family until December 2023 and maintained all communications occurred outside North Carolina, primarily related to his security work.
