  • Utah Republican attorney general candidate Rachel Terry said Tuesday her opponent, Derek Brown, has a conflict of interest in handling the state’s lawsuit against Facebook based on legal and lobbying work Brown did for the social media giant.
    Brown spent six years lobbying for Facebook, according to his disclosure report. He ended his representation of the firm in December, a few weeks after he announced his bid for attorney general.
    “I don’t still represent them so there is no conflict. She knows that,” Brown said of Terry at Tuesday’s GOP primary election debate between the three Republican candidates.
    During an interview following the debate, Terry said conflicts of interest continue after an attorney no longer no longer represents a client.

    Given Utah's track record of corrupt attorneys general, I can't get excited about either candidate.
