Rep. Trevor Lee had a very, very bad week. He [lost the Davis County GOP convention vote](https://utahpolitics.news/bob-stevenson-tops-trevor-lee-at-davis-gop-convention-lee-squeezes-into-june-primary-amid-fraud-claims/) to Bob Stevenson. That came a few days after a website dropped with [serious fraud allegations](https://utahpolitics.news/two-of-rep-trevor-lees-former-bosses-say-hes-a-con-man-and-voters-should-know/) from two former employers. One features a signed confession of check fraud. The other involves explosive claims that Lee tried to use his legislative office to help steer a federal contract at Hill Air Force Base in exchange for retiring a $93,000 personal debt he owed to his employer.

The CD1 Democratic primary is getting more complicated by the day. What started as a two-person race is now a likely four- or five-way contest heading into convention weekend. Why Ben McAdams is the clear frontrunner—cash, name ID, and a district that's not as progressive as some assume—and why [old online posts from Nate Blouin](https://utahpolitics.news/utah-1st-district-race-rocked-by-blouins-old-posts-mocking-mormons-joking-about-sexual-assault/) attacking the LDS church could be a serious liability in November, regardless of what happens in the primary.

Plus: [Celeste Maloy qualifies for the CD3 primary](https://utahpolitics.news/maloy-locks-in-utah-3rd-district-ballot-spot-pressure-shifts-to-lyman/) via signatures while Phil Lyman races the clock; the legislature's investigation of Supreme Court Justice Diana Hagen and what it's really about; Ken Ivory's close call in HD39; and a preview of the state Republican and Democratic conventions.
