A national media watchdog group has sued the Utah attorney general’s office in state court, alleging the state’s top law enforcement agency is hiding information about its dealings with what the group calls politically conservative “cash-for influence” organizations.
The Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) filed the suit Monday in Salt Lake City’s 3rd District Court after Attorney General Sean Reyes’ office refused to comply with public records requests for email communications and documents that would detail the relationship between Reyes, the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) and the Rule of Law Defense Fund (RLDF).
