US EditionState leaders to launch investigation into relationship between Utah Supreme Court justice, attorney
Republican leaders say the allegations raise unresolved conflict-of-interest questions after a 2024 redistricting ruling changed Utah’s congressional map.
- Utah Supreme Court Justice Diana Hagen is under investigation over allegations of an inappropriate relationship with attorney David Reymann, who assisted in redrawing the state's congressional maps leading to a lost Republican seat.
- Hagen last participated in the related redistricting case in October 2024 and voluntarily recused herself from all cases involving Reymann starting in May 2025.
- The Judicial Conduct Commission conducted a preliminary review and dismissed the complaint, while the governor and legislative leaders have launched an independent investigation to ensure transparency and maintain public trust.
- The redistricting case resulted in a unanimous ruling that lawmakers overstepped their authority, creating a new congressional map that flipped a safe Republican seat to Democrats.
