Lobbyist Larry Marchant Jr and Haley’s communications consultant, Will Folks, admitted in signed affidavits that they had both, on separate occasions, had affairs with the then-future governor.
Court documents have revealed that Nikki Haley did, in fact, cheat on her husband before becoming governor, and that one of her lovers was a married South Carolina lobbyist.
Haley repeatedly denied that she'd been unfaithful to her husband, Michael, when allegations first broke in 2010. They've now been married for 28 years, and have two children together.
According to the Daily Mail, the aforementioned lobbyist, Larry Marchant Jr, and Haley's communications consultant, Will Folks, admitted in signed affidavits that they had both, on separate occasions, had affairs with the then-future governor.
In his affidavit, Marchant said that he and Haley "had sexual intercourse" during a conference in Salt Lake City in June 2008.
"I came forward publicly on this matter only after being contacted by the press and after hearing Rep. Haley claim that she had been one hundred percent faithful to her husband in response to the Folks' allegations when I knew her statements were absolutely false," he added. "This issue has been difficult for me personally, professionally and has brought unwanted attention to my family and my clients."
Folks said that he had kissed Haley in her vehicle in early 2007, and that they "saw each other again repeatedly" until June of that year, when he met the woman he would go on to marry.
