A combined $50,985 in campaign contributions to Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes remains in escrow following last week’s indictments of a Utah biofuel company’s CEO and CFO, a spokesman for Reyes said Tuesday.
The donations to Utah’s top law-enforcement official were set aside in 2016 after federal agents raided Washakie Renewable Energy, with Reyes' team citing a need for additional information before determining whether to spend or return the money.
Alan Crooks, Reyes' campaign spokesman, said Tuesday “it’s a bad thing” that Washakie’s Jacob and Isaiah Kingston had been indicted on fraud and money-laundering charges.
