Cox, in addition to Utah state Senate President J. Stuart Adams and Utah state House Speaker Mike Schultz, suspect Hagen had an inappropriate relationship with an attorney who’d been arguing redistricting cases before her.

This suspicion is based on allegations contained in a complaint that was filed last year by another attorney who claimed Hagen’s ex-husband had told him about her “inappropriate” text messages with attorney David Reymann, according to station KSL.

Both Hagen and Reymann have denied the allegations. Their supporters have suggested that the desire for an investigation stems from Republican anger over Hagen joining a unanimous decision two years ago to toss out a GOP redistricting plan.

Hagen and Reymann are backed by the Judicial Conduct Commission, which already investigated the allegations and found them to be “speculative, overstated, and misleading,” according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

However, neither Cox, Schultz, nor Adams were convinced. In a joint statement, the three said the commission’s investigation “left important questions unresolved.”
