A MAGA candidate running for Congress on a family valuesplatformhas been accused of destroying his best friend’s marriage by introducing him to a swinger lifestyle.
That is one of many sordid claims hanging over the campaign of the Trump-endorsed Mark Lamb, 53, who is thefavoriteto represent Arizona’s 5th Congressional District, which includes a portion of Pinal County, where he was sheriff for eight years.
Lamb is accused of roping his pal Matt Hilsabeck into a years-long affair with his wife without permission from Hilsabeck’s spouse, which not only led to his friend’s divorce, but also a probe by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, an investigation by theArizona Republichas revealed.
Jillian Stannard, Hilsabeck’s ex-wife, said Lamb “got in her face” when she sent sexual material, including a photo of Lamb’s penis, to church officials as part of their probe. The Republic writes that he then “threatened her, telling her there would be consequences.”
“Whatever you and Matt are dealing with has collateral damage,” he said, according to Stannard.
Another woman has accused the self-described “family man” of sending explicit messages and then proceeding to make threats against them.
A woman shared screenshots of Facebook messages with the Republic in which Lamb allegedly texted through an intermediary that he would “call DPS,” referring to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, if she posted his explicit images—something he allegedly equated to revenge porn.
Lamb then promised to personally halt any state criminal probe into the woman if she took down her posts.
“I will ask for them not to proceed,” he allegedly wrote. “My wife says she is okay with that too.”
The Republic reported that the same woman, Tammy Peacock, had messages with Lamb that suggested they had a years-long affair and that she even had a sheriff’s badge with his name on it tattooed on her.
