Utah Senate President Stuart Adams of Layton is threatening to sue critics for defamation, according to a report published August 20. Adams stated that critics must correct their statements or face legal action.
Adams, who lost his GOP primary race in June, claims State Auditor Tina Cannon made false statements about him on the God and Country Podcast. He also believes two podcast hosts made false statements.
Cannon responded by stating she will not be bullied. She expressed hope that Adams pursues a lawsuit so he can answer her questions under oath.
The dispute involves claims of false statements made by the state auditor and podcast hosts regarding the Senate President.
