(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) Apostle M. Russell Ballard departs the rostrum at the end of a session of General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City on Saturday, Sept. 30, 2023. A new court filing says a prosecutor had evidence that Ballard or other church authorities had shared tithing records with Operation Underground Railroad.
