Behind the Headlines

Hatch’s dismissal of hush money payments; Utah’s homelessness data; and, Salt Lake’s dwindling Mormon population

Play
Outgoing Sen. Orrin Hatch dismisses court documents implicating President Donald Trump in illegal hush money payments during the 2016 campaign. Hatch also gives a farewell speech on the Senate floor, calling it a legislative body in “crisis.” Meanwhile, an audit shows Utah doesn’t have a good grasp on data relating to homelessness. And records from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reveal that Salt Lake County is no longer majority Mormon.

At 9 a.m. Friday, Salt Lake Tribune reporter Benjamin Wood, Washington bureau chief Thomas Burr and executive vice president Tim Fitzpatrick join KCPW’s Roger McDonough to talk about the week’s top stories. Every Friday at 9 a.m., stream “Behind the Headlines” at kcpw.org, or tune in to KCPW 88.3 FM or Utah Public Radio for the broadcast.
