犹他州共和党州长斯宾塞·考克斯与州议会高层周五下令对一名州最高法院大法官展开独立调查，此前有指控称该法官与一起高风险重划选区案中的代理律师存在不道德关系。
由考克斯任命的戴安娜·哈根大法官被其前夫指控向一名律师发送了他所称的“不当”短信。这名律师曾协助质疑一份保留了犹他州四个共和党国会席位的亲共和党选区地图。
哈根参与了2024年7月否决共和党重划选区方案的一致裁决，该裁决使得其中一个席位在2026年中期选举前易主为民主党阵营。

据当地媒体KSL报道，哈根与本案中代表进步派投票权团体的律师戴维·赖曼之间可能存在关系的爆料，源自哈根丈夫的一名律师向首席大法官马修·杜兰特及司法行为委员会提交的投诉。
哈根与赖曼均否认了相关指控。福克斯新闻数字频道已联系犹他州最高法院代表及赖曼置评。

据KSL报道，司法行为委员会在其网站上自称是由多名州议员、法官和公众成员组成的独立机构，该委员会根据投诉进行了初步调查后决定不再进一步追查此事。福克斯新闻数字频道已联系司法行为委员会置评。
犹他州最高法院周五下午代表哈根发布公开声明，哈根表示自己从未存在利益冲突。

“我在重划选区案中的最后一次参与是在2024年10月，”哈根说道。“我在2025年5月主动回避了所有涉及赖曼先生的案件，我的回避情况也在2025年9月15日法院关于‘妇女选民联盟’案的判决书中有所体现。
“针对前夫提出的指控，我采取了迅速、审慎且透明的措施，包括自行向司法行为委员会举报并提交了宣誓证词。司法行为委员会最近审查了此事，驳回了投诉并结案。我将继续致力于维护司法伦理、正直和公正的最高标准。”
据KSL报道，投诉及司法行为委员会开展的访谈显示，哈根与丈夫于2024年9月开始讨论离婚事宜，两人在当年年底曾与赖曼一同会面，而哈根直到2025年才与赖曼进行单独会面。

考克斯与参议院议长斯图尔特·亚当斯、众议院议长迈克·舒尔茨一同发起了此次新调查，他们在联合声明中表示，此事需要更多“透明度”，并指出公众对州最高法院的信任正面临风险，尤其是在这份可能影响中期选举的极具争议的重划选区裁决之后。
“司法行为委员会和法院的初步审查留下了一些未解决的重要问题，”他们说道。“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方式进行审查，以查明事实并维护公众信心。”

Republican Utah Gov. Spencer Cox and top state lawmakers ordered an independent investigation Friday into a state Supreme Court justice over allegations she had an unethical relationship with an attorney who worked on a high-stakes redistricting case.
Justice Diana Hagen, who was appointed by Cox, stands accused by her ex-husband of sending what he described as “inappropriate” text messages to an attorney who helped challenge a Republican-friendly map that maintained four red congressional seats in Utah.
Hagen joined a unanimous decision to toss out Republicans’ redistricting plan in July 2024, a ruling that led to one of the seats flipping blue in time for the 2026 midterms.

The revelation of a possible relationship between Hagen and the attorney, David Reymann, who worked on behalf of progressive voting rights groups in the case, stemmed from a complaint that a lawyer for Hagen’s husband submitted to Chief Justice Matthew Durrant and the Judicial Conduct Commission, according to local outlet KSL.
Hagen and Reymann have both denied the allegations. Fox News Digital reached out to a Utah Supreme Court representative and Reymann for comment.

The Judicial Conduct Commission, described on its website as an independent body comprising several state lawmakers, judges and members of the public, conducted a preliminary investigation based on the complaint and chose not to pursue the matter further, KSL reported. Fox News Digital reached out to the Judicial Conduct Commission for comment.
The Utah Supreme Court issued a public statement on behalf of Hagen Friday afternoon in which she said she never had a conflict of interest.

“My last involvement in the redistricting case was October 2024,” Hagen said. “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.
“I took prompt, prudent, and transparent steps in response to the allegations made by my ex-husband, including reporting them myself to the Judicial Conduct Commission and submitting a sworn statement. The Judicial Conduct Commission recently reviewed the matter, dismissed the complaint, and closed the case. I remain committed to upholding the highest standards of judicial ethics, integrity, and impartiality.”
The complaint and interviews conducted by the Judicial Conduct Commission found that Hagen and her husband began discussing divorce in September 2024, had interacted together with Reymann toward the end of that year and that Hagen did not meet one-on-one with Reymann until 2025, according to KSL.

Cox, along with Senate President Stuart Adams and House Speaker Mike Schultz, who joined the governor in launching the new investigation, said in a joint statement that more “transparency” was needed on the matter, signaling that the public’s trust in the state’s highest court was at stake, especially after a polarizing decision in a redistricting case set to affect the midterms.
“An initial review by the Judicial Conduct Commission and the court left important questions unresolved,” they said. “Allegations of this nature, especially involving public officials, must be examined with transparency and accountability to establish the facts and to maintain public confidence.”
