Two weeks ago, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox placed the head of the Utah National Guard on leave. It caught many by surprise, but it's information KSL has been digging into for about a year.
SALT LAKE CITY — An Army Inspector General's investigation into the now-former adjutant general of the Utah National Guard, Maj. Gen. Michael Turley, stretched on for two years before Utah Gov. Spencer Cox placed Turley on leave nearly two weeks ago.
The timeline raises questions about when Cox first learned of the whistleblower complaint and why the governor did not remove Turley from command until two weeks ago.. The announcement came a day after the National Guard received notification from the U.S. Army Inspector General it had concluded an investigation into Turley.
KSL first learned of the whistleblower complaint in August 2022. Exactly one year ago, on Aug. 30, 2022, KSL submitted a public records request to the Utah governor's office under the state's open records law. In a formal response dated Sept. 7, 2022, the governor's office reported it "did not find records responsive to the request."
However, the timeline established by KSL's records requests suggest members of Cox's staff likely became aware of the whistleblower complaint at least as early as August 2022.
