John Swallow is a man who is rebuilding his reputation. It was a long drop from Utah Attorney General to defendant in a public corruption trial that ended in his acquittal. 

When he and his predecessor, Mark Shurtleff, were accused of a complicated “pay for play” scheme, it became known as the biggest political scandal in the history of Utah.

But the charges against Shurtleff were dropped. And Swallow was exonerated. And the State was left to pay millions of dollars to retire both men’s legal debts.

In this 3 Questions interview, Bob Evans with FOX 13 News in Salt Lake City asks Swallow about the whole ordeal, how it has changed him, and what advice he has for future lawmakers to help them avoid the trouble he’s had.
