Under intense pressure from Republican leaders, including Gov. Spencer Cox, Justice Diana Hagen resigned from the Utah Supreme Court on Friday.
Cox, along with House Speaker Mike Schultz and Senate President J. Stuart Adams announced an investigation last month into allegations that Hagen had an improper relationship with an attorney with a case before the high court — accusations that the Judicial Conduct Commission dismissed as “misleading.”
Under the cloud of the investigation — and the Utah Republican Party actively campaigning for Utahns to vote her off the bench in November’s retention election — Hagen submitted her resignation, “effective immediately,” to Cox, the governor said in a news release Friday.
In her resignation letter, Hagen wrote that she recognizes public service requires sacrifice and officials are held to a higher standard and “greater degree of public scrutiny and diminished privacy.”
“But my family and friends did not choose public life,” she wrote. “They do not deserve to have intensely personal details surrounding the painful dissolution of my thirty-year marriage subjected to public scrutiny.”
“I would love nothing more than to continue serving the people of Utah as a Supreme Court Justice,” she wrote, “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.”

Well... bye.
The Trump War Room is real.
They are going to be taking pelts from here on out.
Beaver pelts???
What you did there, I saw it.
Bitch got sucked in. Happens to men too.
A bit long in the tooth and large to be fooling around?
All her work to get to the top of her profession and it’s gone for some bed fun. Amazing.
The story is missing a key detail. Was the attorney male or female.
“...All her work to get to the top of her profession and it’s gone for some bed fun. Amazing...”
Well, when one screws the People over and over without consequence, she probably figured: what’s one or two low-life lawyers gonna bring?
She definitely FAFO’ed......
Noticed the same thing!
“All her work to get to the top of her profession and it’s gone for some bed fun. Amazing.”
Well, yeah except for her generous pension and a cushy teaching job.
The pink blazer makes her look larger than she is. Her face and chin line is not what would be associated with a heavy woman.
