(Salt Lake City, UT) — The judge overseeing a lawsuit filed by independent U.S. Senate candidate Evan McMullin says he won’t be forced to give a deposition before Election Day. McMullin is suing a political action committee over attack ads that he claims are defamatory. The PAC had wanted to depose him before the election, but the judge blocked that request yesterday. McMullin is facing Republican Senator Mike Lee, who hopes to be re-elected to a third term.
