Senator Had Sex With Married Security Guard At CNN Star’s Wedding

Key Points:

• Former Senator Kyrsten Sinema admitted in a deposition to having an affair with her married bodyguard, Matthew Ammel, which began with a late-night encounter over Memorial Day weekend 2024 and continued at CNN anchor Jessica Dean’s wedding in June 2024.
• Ammel’s ex-wife, Heather, is suing Sinema for allegedly breaking up their 14-year marriage, but Sinema’s lawyers have filed a motion to dismiss the case citing lack of jurisdiction, as the affair did not occur in North Carolina.
• Sinema revealed that Ammel had expressed his intention to divorce his wife as early as January 2024, citing alleged domestic issues in their marriage.
• The deposition also detailed other meetings between Sinema and Ammel, including at her Arizona home and in Aspen during a fundraiser, and noted that Sinema was single during the affair.
• Despite a message from Heather Ammel questioning Sinema about the affair before a Taylor Swift concert in October 2024, Sinema reported no confrontation occurred and described their interactions at the event as “normal.”
