Overview
- Sinema was onstage with Utah Gov. Spencer Cox at a Grand America Hotel panel hosted by the Utah Chamber of Commerce and the University of Utah’s Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute.
- Each man stood up minutes apart to shout claims of an affair before security escorted them out, and Sinema quipped, “I promise I didn’t plan that.”
- Utah Highway Patrol troopers and Salt Lake City police removed the men from the property, with no arrests or citations reported.
- The outbursts followed a lawsuit by Heather Ammel in North Carolina alleging Sinema had a romantic relationship with her then-husband, a member of Sinema’s former security detail, and seeking at least $75,000 in damages.
- The complaint cites Signal messages and trips to Napa Valley, Las Vegas, and Saudi Arabia, and Sinema’s attorney recently sought to move the case to federal court.
