Reports: Utah Attorney General Expected To Resign Over Investigations

The scandal that has been bubbling around Utah Attorney General John Swallow (R) since January has suddenly started to boil -- and may result in his leaving office.

According to The Salt Lake Tribune, Swallow is expected to submit his resignation by week's end, and possibly sooner, "in the face of mounting investigations and a report expected from the lieutenant governor's office that could result in his ouster."

That news comes concurrently with the news that Utah Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox's office is expected to soon release a report concluding that Swallow failed to report business interests and income on financial disclosure forms. The report was reportedly set for release on Thursday, but could be postponed if Swallow leaves office.

In an earlier story published on Wednesday, the Tribune cited two anonymous sources who said the report will recommend action against Swallow, which could ultimately involve asking a judge to invalidate Swallow's election.
