Court Filing Details Bribes to Paxton

“Late last year, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) fired multiple senior aides who accused him of accepting a bribe. A court filing reveals for the first time what four of those aides believe Paxton received in exchange for helping a donor with his business affairs,” the Texas Tribune reports.

“An updated version of a lawsuit filed by the four whistleblowers claims that Austin real estate developer Nate Paul helped Paxton remodel his house and gave a job to a woman with whom Paxton allegedly had an affair.”

“In return, the aides allege, Paxton used his office to help Paul’s business interests, investigate Paul’s adversaries and help settle a lawsuit.”
