Suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton attracted six six-figure donors in his first fundraising report since the House impeached him in May. But the report provides little clarity on how he is paying for his legal defense — or who is paying for it.
The report, due Monday and published Tuesday, covers his fundraising for the final 12 days of June, a narrower-than-usual window due to a moratorium on fundraising around the regular legislative session.
Paxton raised $1.7 million over the period, a figure he announced Monday, hailing it as a triumph despite the impeachment. It was the most Paxton had raised in a post-session fundraising period following a statewide election, topping the $1.4 million he collected during a comparable period in 2019.
