Former Utah Attorney General Candidate Faces Bribery Charges

Frank Mylar is accused of offering a job to opponent Trent Christensen in exchange for his endorsement.

Mylar allegedly sent a text message to Christensen promising a job if he endorsed him before the Republican state convention.
Christensen reported the incident to the Murray City Police Department, which led to a formal investigation.
Prosecutors have charged Mylar with one count of third-degree felony bribery in elections.
Mylar's attorneys deny the allegations, stating he did not intend the message as a bribe.
If convicted, Mylar faces up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
