Church investigates Trump-endorsed 'Family man’s' swinger lifestyle

The Daily Beast reports a “family values” MAGA candidate running for Congress is being accused of destroying his best friend’s marriage by coaxing him to a swinger lifestyle — with his wife.

That is one of “many sordid claims hanging over the campaign of the Trump-endorsed Mark Lamb, 53,” who the Beast reports is the favorite to represent Arizona’s 5th Congressional District, where he served eight years as sheriff.

“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,” said the Beast, citing an investigation by the Arizona Republic has revealed.

According to the Beast, Jillian Stannard, Hilsabeck’s ex-wife, claims 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.”

Another unrelated woman has accused the self-described “family man” of sending explicit messages, followed up by threats. She shared Facebook message screenshots 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 allegedly tried to sweeten the deal by promising 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, shared messages with Lamb that suggested they had a years-long affair and that she even had a tattoo of a sheriff’s badge with Lamb’s name on it.

The Beast added that Peacock reportedly called Lamb a “f—— joke” and a womanizer a week before she died in a car crash.
