Summary
July 31 deposition testimony filed this week says Kyrsten Sinema’s affair with married bodyguard Matthew Ammel included a June 2024 encounter at CNN anchor Jessica Dean’s New York wedding.
Sinema said the relationship began with a late-night kiss and sex at an Airbnb over Memorial Day weekend 2024, then continued in Arizona and Aspen.
Heather Ammel is suing Sinema in federal court under North Carolina law, accusing her of breaking up the Ammels’ 14-year marriage.
Sinema, who said she was single, is seeking dismissal for lack of jurisdiction because she says none of the affair occurred in North Carolina.
An evidentiary hearing is set for Aug. 19 as the case tests the reach of a rare alienation-of-affection claim.
