Dated July 8, 2004, the restraining order states that in the interest of Claudia Helen Kelly and Claire Sophia Kelly, the two then-minor children, now-Sen. Kelly was prohibited for communicating with, threatening, or in any way trying to contact his wife and their children.
Sen. Kelly, by the way, is one of the names circulating right now to possibly become Kamala Harris' vice-presidential pick.
Laura Loomer obtained a copy of the restraining order, which she posted to X for her followers to see.
"He doesn't want people knowing about his shady divorce and the restraining order that was issued against him in 2004," Loomer explained. "He goes to great lengths to keep these documents private. Sadly for him, but luckily for all of you, I have obtained these documents."
"Do you really want a man in the White House serving as Vice President whose own wife had to issue a restraining order against him to protect herself and her two minor daughters?"

Sen. Kelly's current wife is former Arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords, whom he met at a seminar in communist China back in 2003. His first wife Amy subsequently filed for divorce in June 2004 right before getting a restraining order against him.
Loomer says that Sen. Kelly was allegedly having an affair with Giffords while he was still legally married to Amy. On Nov. 10, 2007, Sen. Kelly married Giffords, effectively destroying his family.
"This is DISQUALIFYING for someone (let alone a U.S. Senator) who is looking to be the Vice President of the United States," Loomer tweeted.
