American politician and former senator navigating current legal and political challenges
A North Carolina judge has ruled that the state has jurisdiction over a civil case alleging an affair between Senator Kyrsten Sinema and a member of her security detail, despite Sinema's lack of formal ties to NC. The suit, filed by the ex-wife of the bodyguard, seeks damages for alienation of affection. Nine text messages from Sinema to the guard while he was in North Carolina are cited as the basis for jurisdiction. Sinema has acknowledged the relationship.
