多位消息人士向哥伦比亚广播公司透露，白宫官员正在密切关注犹他州的一起所谓丑闻，并敦促该州共和党人进一步调查一桩涉及两起备受瞩目的选区划分操纵案关键人物之间关系的伦理问题。
这是犹他州法院下令重新划定国会选区风波的又一转折，该裁定将原本共和党占优的选区变得更有利于民主党，同时也是特朗普政府为保住共和党在众议院的微弱多数席位所采取的新策略。
州议会议员们正在就犹他州最高法院法官戴安娜·哈根与大卫·赖曼的关系提出质疑。赖曼是犹他州妇女选民联盟的首席法律顾问，也是指控共和党拟议国会选区划分方案非法的原告律师之一。
哈根在2024年的一致裁决中撰写了判决书，认定共和党议员修改第4号提案的行为越权，该提案禁止选区划分操纵。
政治回应
目前尚不清楚哈根与赖曼之间所谓的利益冲突能否推翻新的国会选区划分方案，帮助共和党夺回一个原本由其占优的选区。
犹他州参议院多数党领袖柯克·卡里莫尔在接受哥伦比亚广播公司采访时表示：“目前仍有太多未知因素。”
卡里莫尔指出，哈根曾在一封信中表示，她已回避审议与赖曼相关的事务。他说，伦理监督机构并不清楚在州最高法院就反选区操纵案作出裁决时，两人是否存在恋爱关系。
消息人士称，犹他州的共和党官员已就此事与白宫进行了沟通。
此前，特朗普总统呼吁德克萨斯州共和党人重新划分国会选区边界，以巩固众议院共和党多数席位，由此引发了中期选区重划热潮，其他州议会也陷入了选区重划之争。
特朗普总统今年早些时候就犹他州共和党人废除反选区操纵法案的努力发表了看法。
根据地区法院的命令，犹他州当前的国会选区划分方案将四个倾向共和党的国会选区调整为三个倾向共和党的选区，以及盐湖城地区的一个民主党占多数的选区。自2014年以来，共和党一直掌控犹他州全部四个国会选区席位。
犹他州联邦众议员伯吉斯·欧文斯曾是职业橄榄球运动员，他上月宣布不会寻求连任。此前他曾提起诉讼试图推翻新的选区划分方案，但未获成功。
在一份联合声明中，州议会三位最高共和党立法领袖表示，他们将推动开展独立调查。
州长斯宾塞·考克斯、州参议院议长J·斯图尔特·亚当斯与众议院议长迈克·舒尔茨表示：“近期有媒体报道称，犹他州最高法院一名法官与曾在本院代理过重大案件的律师之间存在关系，这引发了严重的质疑和担忧。”
“司法行为委员会和法院的初步审查未能解决关键问题。此类指控，尤其是涉及公职人员的指控，必须以透明和负责任的态度进行调查，以查明事实并维护公众信任。”
赖曼所代表的犹他州妇女选民联盟拒绝置评。
婚外情指控
去年12月，有人向州司法行为委员会提交投诉，指控哈根与赖曼之间存在不当关系。
通过公共信息申请，哥伦比亚广播公司获得了这份投诉书的副本。提交投诉的律师称，哈根的前夫告诉他，哈根曾与赖曼交换过短信。
司法行为委员会在初步调查后决定不再进一步追究此事。
2024年州最高法院作出裁决后，由共和党主导的州议会试图推翻新的选区划分方案，该案于2025年9月再次提交州高等法院审理。今年2月，犹他州高等法院再次作出不利于州议会的裁决，维持了新的选区划分方案。
哈根在今年1月向委员会提交的一份声明中详细说明了两人的关系。她表示，在30年的婚姻中，她一直对前夫忠诚，在两人分居前并未发生婚外情。她说，自己在2024年9月提出离婚，两人于2025年4月分居。
这位法官表示，在与丈夫分居后，她与赖曼“重拾友谊”，并更新了回避名单，将赖曼的名字纳入其中。
哈根在接受率先报道此事的当地新闻媒体KSL-TV采访时表示，她“已于2025年5月自愿回避所有涉及赖曼先生的案件”。
赖曼尚未回应哥伦比亚广播公司的置评请求。
White House eyes alleged Utah scandal as GOP frets about redistricting loss

Olivia Rinaldi White House reporter
Olivia Rinaldi is a White House reporter at CBS News. She covered President Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign and was previously an associate producer for “CBS Evening News with Norah O’Donnell” and a broadcast associate for “Face the Nation.” She is based in Washington, D.C.

White House officials are closely monitoring an alleged Utah scandal, leaning on Republicans there to delve further into ethics concerns about a relationship between two key players in a high-profile gerrymandering case, sources told CBS News.
It’s another twist in an ongoing battle over Utah’s court-ordered congressional map that made a GOP-majority district much friendlier for Democrats, and a new tactic in the Trump administration’s push to hold Republicans’ slim majority in the U.S. House.
Lawmakers in the state legislature are asking questions about Utah Supreme Court Justice Diana Hagen’s relationship with David Reymann, the chief counsel for the League of Women Voters of Utah, who was one of the plaintiff’s attorneys asserting Republicans’ proposed congressional maps were illegal.
Hagen wrote the opinion in a unanimous 2024 ruling that found GOP lawmakers had overstepped by changing Proposition 4, which prohibits gerrymandering.
Political reaction
It was unclear if the alleged conflict of interest involving Hagen and Reymann could overturn the new congressional boundaries and help Republicans claw back a GOP-majority district.
“There’s just a lot of unknowns at this point,” Kirk Cullimore, the Utah Senate majority leader, told CBS News.
Cullimore noted Hagen in a letter recused herself from considering matters connected to Reymann. Ethics watchdogs don’t know if the pair were in a relationship when the state Supreme Court issued the opinion on the anti-gerrymandering case, he said.
GOP officials in Utah have spoken to the White House about the situation, sources said.
Other state legislatures have been locked in redistricting battles after President Trump set off a mid-decade redistricting frenzy by asking Texas Republicans to redraw their congressional boundaries to try to cement a House GOP majority.
Mr. Trump weighed in earlier this year on the Utah Republicans’ efforts to repeal the anti-gerrymandering bill.
The current Utah boundary map, ordered by a district court, turned four Republican-leaning congressional districts into three GOP-leaning districts and one Democratic-majority district in the Salt Lake City area. Republicans have controlled all four congressional districts in Utah since 2014.
Utah U.S. Rep. Burgess Owens, a former professional football player, announced last month that he wouldn’t be seeking reelection after he unsuccessfully sued to overturn the map.
In a joint statement to CBS News, the top three Republican legislative leaders said they will move forward with an independent investigation.
“Recent media reports about a relationship between a member of the Utah Supreme Court and an attorney who has argued high-profile cases before the Court raise serious questions and concerns,” Governor Spencer Cox, state Senate President J. Stuart Adams, and House Speaker Mike Schultz said.
“An initial review by the Judicial Conduct Commission and the Court left important questions unresolved. Allegations of this nature, especially involving public officials, must be examined with transparency and accountability to establish the facts and to maintain public confidence.”
The League of Women Voters Utah, who Reymann represented, declined to comment.
Affair allegations
A complaint to the state’s Judicial Conduct Commission in December made allegations about an inappropriate relationship between Hagen and Reymann.
Through a public records request, CBS News obtained a copy of the complaint, filed by an attorney who said Hagen’s ex-husband told him Hagen had exchanged text messages with Reymann.
The Judicial Conduct Commission opted not to pursue the matter further after a preliminary investigation.
After the 2024 state Supreme Court decision, the GOP-led legislature tried to have the new map thrown out, and the case again came before the state’s high court in September 2025. In February, Utah’s high court again ruled against the legislature and upheld the new map.
Hagen detailed the relationship in a January declaration to the commission, stating she had been faithful to her ex-husband for the 30 years of their marriage and did not have an affair before their separation. She said that she suggested they divorce in September 2024, and they separated in April 2025.
The judge says she renewed her “friendship with Mr. Reymann” while separated from her husband and updated her recusal list to include his name.
Hagen told local news outlet KSL-TV, which first reported on the situation, that she “voluntarily recused myself from all cases involving Mr. Reymann in May 2025.”
Reymann has not responded to CBS News’ requests for comment.
