WASHINGTON — Michigan Rep. Hillary Scholten fought to seal the court docs about her divorce — as her lawyer admitted that they could hurt her election chances and cause “irreparable reputational harm.”

Earlier this month, Scholten (D-Mich.), 44, publicly revealed that her husband of 20 years, Jesse Holcomb, “suddenly left our family home and then filed for divorce,” without giving any details.

The mother of two also indicated that she has continued raising their boys and that they are “overcoming every day.”

Notably, Holcomb’s attorney backed the push to keep those docs under wraps — acknowledging that “information related to defendant’s personal life could unintentionally erode the public’s opinion of her.”

But ultimately, the judge overseeing the divorce proceedings rejected the effort to seal the records.

Evidently what her husband said about her must not have passed for flowers.

Oh look, another Spanberger clone.

He probably got tired of looking at her ugly face.

A quick search doesn't say much. They state in Michigan no reason needs to be filed so I'm not sure what could be in them.

If something came out like she had committed adultery, I would understand why she wouldn't want that released.

As I've noted before, anyone that will cheat on their spouse can't be trusted to not cheat in anything.
