Trevor Lee served as a Republican member of the Utah House of Representatives, representing District 16 (Layton area) from January 2023 until late 2026. He resigned from office effective immediately on 28 September 2026 after being charged with four felony charges by the Utah Attorney General's Office. The charges include second-degree communications fraud, mortgage fraud, forgery, and possession of a forgery writing device. He is accused of forging an employer's signature to fabricate a $165,000 salary to secure a $1 million home loan. Lee was seen liquidating a major Pokemon card collection valued at over $100,000 just before his criminal charges became public, sparking speculation about asset preservation ahead of legal trouble.
