The letter was prompted by at least three complaints in the past 16 months alleging Senate President Stuart Adams, R-Layton, improperly disclosed hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments to credit card companies.
An analysis of campaign disclosures reveals since 2014, Adams has reported nearly $400,000 in campaign payments to American Express or AMEX with little to no detail about where those funds ultimately went.
For example, the Adams Leadership PAC made a $16,134 payment to American Express on Jan. 4, 2024 categorized as "other" with no additional information.
Adams's seeming ignorance of this particular provision in Utah election law is curious, since he was the Senate Majority Whip when it was passed.
Imagine you launder $400k, claim you got confused and the LtGov says, "No biggie." while patting your back.
If I get pulled over doing 120mph on West Davis corridor, can I get off with a warning because I was confused about the speed limit?
