Nikki Haley DID cheat on husband Michael - had affairs with her comms consultant and a MARRIED South Carolina lobbyist before she became governor, sworn affidavits and new witnesses claim
Nikki Haley, 51, denied claims she cheated on her husband Michael before she became South Carolina governor in 2010 saying she was '100% faithful'
Now, multiple GOP insiders tell DailyMail.com that they were intimately aware of Haley's infidelity at the time, saying: 'It was totally out in the open'
Communications consultant Will Folks, 49, and lobbyist Larry Marchant, 61, both signed affidavits in 2010 alleging they had a sexual relationship with Haley
We've heard the name Will Folks before. He's the guy who claimed that Sacred Honor demanded that he publicize his affair with Nikki Haley before an election.
But... second look at Will Folks.
Presidential candidate Nikki Haley falsely denied cheating on her husband when she was accused of engaging in two extramarital affairs during her gubernatorial campaign, multiple sources who worked with her claim.
New witnesses have come forward telling DailyMail.com that Haley's denials of two alleged 2008 affairs are false, and that the supposed trysts were brazen and widely known among South Carolina politicos.
Will Folks, 49, and Larry Marchant, 61, both signed affidavits in 2010 alleging they had a sexual relationship with the then-South Carolina lawmaker, before she went on to become governor.
While the contents of the affidavits were described by major news outlets at the time, this is the first time they have been published outside of Folks' own document which he published on his blog.
Haley, 51, denied both at the time, saying she was '100% faithful' to the father of her two children and husband of 28 years, Michael Haley -- who was deployed in Afghanistan with the National Guard in 2012.
Haley now frequently cites him as a reason for her presidential candidacy.
But multiple GOP insiders told DailyMail.com that they were intimately aware of Haley's infidelity as a South Carolina lawmaker -- including tales of steamy liaisons in the back of her Cadillac SUV, 'canoodling' in her lovers' laps at bars, and nights spent together in a Columbia, South Carolina duplex.
Haley has not responded to DailyMail's request for comment as of the time of publication.
...
[Will Folks] said he first kissed Haley in a car in early 2007, and that he had regular trysts with her at his apartment in downtown Columbia. He got married in June 2008.
'Representative Haley and I shared our first kiss while sitting in her parked car outside of MacDougal's restaurant and bar in downtown Columbia, S.C.,' Folks wrote in the October 2010 affidavit.
'This kiss took place in early 2007 following an evening with friends at the nearby Liberty Taproom. After this first kiss, Rep. Haley drove us to the parking lot behind the neighborhood center at Emily Douglas Park where we parked for approximately forty-five minutes.
'There we slid back the seats of her Cadillac SUV so that Rep. Haley could climb on top of me.'
Folks said that the alleged affair continued through Spring 2007, with trysts at his Columbia apartment, and that 'a few other romantic encounters occurred in her SUV 'including one in the parking lot of the S.C. Policy Council' and 'in her State House office'.
Sacred Honor compelled him to disclose this.
Still, there's another man alleging an affair, plus witnesses.
Larry Marchant Jr., 61, a Columbia lobbyist, also wrote a sworn statement that year that he had dinner, drinks and sex with Haley in her hotel room at a Salt Lake City conference in June 2008.
...
'After a night together of dinner and drinks with other participants of the conference, Rep. Haley and I returned to the hotel together. We went back to her room where we had sexual intercourse and I spent the remainder of the evening. I left her room at approximately 6:00 am.
'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 Folk's allegations when I knew her statements were absolutely false.'
Marchant, who was married at the time, divorced in 2013, with his wife citing the alleged Haley affair in court papers.
If the wife was alleging it in divorce filings, that gives it an extra level of credence. Doesn't prove it, of course. But at least someone else is corroborating it.
...
But one South Carolina GOP insider told DailyMail.com they knew about Haley's alleged affair with Marchant at the time.
'She was in [Marchant's] office all the time, she'd be there at 11 or midnight, the two of them would be drinking,' the former associate of Haley said.
The GOP insider said he had also seen Haley get into the back of her off-white Cadillac SUV with her other alleged beau, Folks.
'I saw them sitting in it a few times with the windows steamed up,' he said.
A second prominent South Carolina Republican said he regularly saw the distinctive Cadillac outside Folks's duplex in Columbia, apparently staying overnight.
'I became curious when I saw an SUV parked outside early in the morning and late at night. It had legislative tags, it wasn't hard to figure out whose it was,' he said.
He added that Haley was not secretive with her alleged romancing.
Is this a big deal? I don't think so. All I see is another strong, empowered Woman of Color taking control of her cooter and trying to save the world, and maybe, just maybe, stumbling on to some Quality D along the way.
