A judge has been suspended for six months without pay after the Utah Supreme Court upheld a decision to discipline the judicial officer for his politically-charged and anti-Trump comments.
Judge Michael Kwan admitted that he had violated the Utah Code of Judicial Conduct on a number of occasions when he made “shirty and politically charged comments to a defendant in his courtroom,” lost his temper with a member of the court’s staff, and criticized then-presidential candidate Donald Trump on social media, according to the court’s decision (pdf).
