Some Famous People called John Swallow
John Swallow
John Swallow (born November 10, 1962) is a Republican lawyer, politician, and former Attorney General of Utah. Just prior to serving as attorney general, he served as Chief Deputy Attorney General overseeing all civil litigation for the state of Utah.
Swallow has been a lawyer since 1990 and was a member of the Utah State House of Representatives from 1996 to 2002. In December 2009, John Swallow was appointed Chief Deputy Attorney General for Utah. While serving as Chief Deputy, some of his most prominent projects included the fights to overturn the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and to gain state control of Utah's federally controlled lands. In November 2012, Swallow easily won the election for Utah Attorney General by a 64 to 30 percent margin.
In November 2013, following federal and state investigations into alleged improprieties, Swallow resigned, after less than a year in office, while proclaiming his innocence and denying all wrongdoing. Swallow and his predecessor, Mark Shurtleff, were arrested in July 2014 on corruption charges. In March 2017, a jury acquitted Swallow of all charges. Thereafter, following an extensive review of all evidence in all investigations and according to a letter dated July 16, 2017, the Utah State Bar absolved John Swallow of any ethical violations. In September 2019, the Utah State Legislature, by nearly-unanimous votes, approved a $1.5 million damages payment, reimbursing Swallow for his legal fees. Thereafter a licensed private investigator asserted publicly that all investigations of John Swallow's conduct had been orchestrated by politicians who benefitted from the false allegations.
