Utah sues over President Joe Biden’s upsizing of national monuments downsized by former President Donald Trump. A lawsuit alleging that Utah’s redistricting process amounted to an unconstitutional gerrymander moves forward. And a deep dive with the Associated Press journalist whose reporting showed that a sex abuse “help line” for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can divert abuse complaints away from law enforcement, leaving children in danger.

At 9 a.m. on Friday, Salt Lake Tribune reporter Brian Maffly and news columnist Robert Gehrke 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. Join the live conversation by calling 801-355-TALK.
