Kyrsten Sinema Seeks Dismissal of Lawsuit Alleging Affair With Bodyguard
Former Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is asking a North Carolina court to dismiss a lawsuit accusing her of having an affair with a married bodyguard during her time in office. The complaint was filed in Moore County, North Carolina, in September 2025 by Matthew Ammel’s ex-wife, a former security staffer who worked for Sinema.
The suit alleges the relationship contributed to the breakdown of the couple’s marriage and seeks damages under North Carolina’s “alienation of affection” law — a statute that allows a spouse to sue a third party accused of interfering in a marriage.
In a motion to dismiss filed this week, Sinema acknowledged that she and Ammel began a romantic relationship in May 2024. That date is significant because Ammel did not separate from his wife until roughly five months later.
However, Sinema argues that the case should be thrown out on jurisdictional grounds. According to her filing, the relationship occurred “exclusively outside of North Carolina,” and therefore the state court lacks authority to hear the claim.
The motion states that nearly all communications between Sinema and Ammel took place while both were outside North Carolina. It further contends that the only contact between them while Ammel was physically present in the state occurred in October 2024 — after he had already moved out of the marital home.
The lawsuit paints a different timeline. According to the complaint, the alleged relationship first intersected with Ammel’s marriage during a December 2023 trip to Las Vegas.
The filing claims Sinema asked Ammel to serve as her “security” so she could attend a U2 concert at the Sphere. Ammel reportedly invited his wife along on the trip, presenting it as a “gift.” After the concert, the couple went out for drinks.
The complaint alleges that in the weeks following that trip, Sinema and Ammel began communicating more frequently using Signal, an encrypted messaging application. Court papers claim the messages “exceeded the bounds of a normal working relationship and were of romantic and lascivious natures.”
The filings further allege that Sinema instructed Ammel to “bring MDMA drugs on a work trip” so she could “guide him through a psychedelic experience.” Additional incidents described in the complaint include travel to the Innings Festival, where Sinema allegedly became “handsy,” and trips to San Francisco, Napa Valley and a Taylor Swift concert.
The ex-wife is seeking both compensatory and punitive damages, arguing that Sinema’s actions constituted “wrongful and malicious acts” that destroyed the marriage.
According to court filings, Sinema and Ammel remain “engaged in a romantic and sexual relationship.”
Employment records cited in the complaint indicate Ammel was initially hired and paid through Sinema’s campaign account. By the summer of 2024 — while Sinema was still serving in the Senate — he had been placed on her official Senate payroll as a staff member.
Sinema did not seek reelection in 2024 after a turbulent single term that saw her break with progressives and leave the Democratic Party to register as an independent. Since leaving Congress, she has joined the Washington-based law and lobbying firm Hogan Lovells, where she has worked on issues including data center development and research funding for the psychedelic drug ibogaine.
The court has not yet ruled on her motion to dismiss. If the judge agrees that North Carolina lacks jurisdiction, the case could be thrown out or refiled in another state.
North Carolina is one of the few states that still recognizes alienation of affection claims, a controversial civil cause of action that critics argue is outdated but supporters say protects the legal sanctity of marriage. Courts in the state have occasionally awarded substantial judgments in such cases, though defendants frequently challenge jurisdiction or venue.
The court has not yet ruled on her motion to dismiss. If the judge finds North Carolina lacks jurisdiction, the lawsuit could be dismissed or potentially refiled in another state. Until then, the case remains an active legal and political complication for the former senator.
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
