Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton allegedly broke multiple laws and misused his office to help a campaign donor, a group of investigators told a Texas House committee on May 24.
Investigators presented information to the House General Investigating Committee for over three hours, detailing the attorney general’s alleged misconduct. The hearing is part of a monthslong investigation surrounding a $3.3 million whistleblower settlement between Paxton and four former staffers.
The whistleblowers said they were fired in 2020 after reporting concerns about Paxton's actions to federal authorities.
