The Salt Lake Tribune reports:

The Utah Attorney General’s Office has charged state Rep. Trevor Lee with two counts of fraud and two forgery-related counts stemming from allegedly falsified documents related to the mortgage on his Layton home. Lee, a 35-year-old Republican who lost his reelection bid in the June primary, promptly resigned his House seat after the charges were filed in 3rd District Court. The Salt Lake Tribune confirmed in July that the attorney general’s office was investigating Lee.

The charges accuse Lee of having falsified a contract with a company named Enevive — including forging the signature of its CEO — purporting to show that he made $168,000 annually from the business in order to get a $1 million home loan from Kind Lending last year. Trent Spafford, the CEO of Enevive, recorded videos of conversations with Lee and one, according to the court documents, shows Lee asking for a $93,000 advance so he could get the home loan.

Read the full article. Lee last appeared here for his bill to rename Salt Lake City’s Harvey Milk Boulevard for Charlie Kirk. Last year the city reacted to a statewide ban on Pride flags by incorporating a Pride flag as an official city flag. That ban on Pride flags was authored by, you guessed it, Rep. Trevor Lee.
