All hell is breaking loose in Washington.
The 2026 election is now up in the air.
And a Supreme Court Justice resigned over this shocking sex scandal.
Democrats stole a House seat in Utah when the State Supreme Court threw out the state’s Congressional map that drew four GOP-leaning districts.
With Democrats needing to flip just four seats to win back the majority, every seat counts.
But now a stunning resignation announcement threw the Utah Supreme Court and the fate of the state’s Congressional map up in the air.
That’s because State Supreme Court Justice Diana Hagen submitted a letter of resignation to Governor Spencer Cox after her husband accused her of having an affair with one of the lawyers representing the Democrat group that brought the lawsuit.
“As a public servant for twenty-six years, I am keenly aware that public service requires sacrifice,” Hagen’s letter read. “I have willingly accepted those sacrifices for the privilege of holding a position of public trust, where I could do my part to uphold the rule of law and protect the constitutional rights of every Utahn.
“I also understand that public officials are rightly held to a higher standard and must accept a greater degree of public scrutiny and diminished privacy,” Hagen went on to say. “But my family and friends did not choose public life. They do not deserve to have intensely personal details surrounding the painful dissolution of my thirty-year marriage subjected to public scrutiny.”
Hagen claimed she only had an early involvement in the case before recusing herself once the lawyer in question joined the team representing the leftist group bringing suit.
“My last involvement in the redistricting case was October 2024,” Hagen continued. “I voluntarily recused myself from all cases involving Mr. Reymann in May 2025, and my recusal was reflected in the Court’s September 15, 2025, opinion in League of Women Voters.”
“But I cannot do so without sacrificing the privacy and well-being of those I care about and the effective functioning and independence of Utah’s judiciary,” she wrote.
But conservatives are left fuming as they believe the fix was in from the start on this case.
And they are wondering if Democrats heisted a Congressional seat out in Utah thanks to an alleged affair.
Some are wondering if the new Urah map should get tossed based on this conflict of interest.
That would hand Republicans yet another seat back and continue the redistricting roll the party is on after the Virginia Supreme Court tossed out a Democrat map that handed the party four Congressional seats, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled red states could eliminate racial gerrymanders, which could eliminate up to 20 more Democrat seats.
