Utah GOP Lawmaker Resigns After State Fraud And Forgery Charges
Utah GOP Rep. Trevor Lee resigned after the Utah Attorney General filed fraud and forgery charges on Monday, September 28, 2026, tied to a $1 million home loan.[1]
Prosecutors say Lee forged an employment contract from a company called Enevive and used an inflated income figure along with a misleading offer letter from Blue Logic during the Kind Lending mortgage process.[1]
The charges stem from a mortgage application for a roughly $1 million home that prosecutors say relied on falsified employment documents and inflated income figures.[1] A Utah water-company CEO told investigators Lee sought about $93,000 in cash advances to show higher income and promised to secure a contract at Hill Air Force Base in return, investigators say.[1]
Investigators say Lee admitted forging the Enevive CEO's signature and that he knew the Blue Logic offer letter misrepresented his pay.[1] He resigned his legislative seat shortly after the charges were filed.[1]
