Seven aides to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton have asked federal authorities to investigate their boss, alleging “improper influence, abuse of office, bribery, and other potential criminal offenses,” the Austin American-Statesman reports.
Details: A letter, dated Oct. 1 and signed by the seven aides, does not contain specific allegations, but it is a significant complaint coming from Paxton’s closest deputies.
- The attorney general, a staunch conservative who is leading the lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act that’s headed to the Supreme Court, is already under indictment for securities fraud, according to the American-Statesman.
