AUSTIN, Texas - There are new courtroom developments involving Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Federal authorities announced new charges against Nate Paul.
Paul is one of Ken Paxton's political donors and was a key figure in the Attorney General's impeachment trial.
New wire fraud charges were added to the bank fraud indictment against Paul. That case is part of the accusations of misuse of office by Paxton, made by whistleblowers, which brought about his impeachment by the Texas House. Paxton allegedly wanted his staff to help Paul fend off the federal investigation.
Ken Paxton in court for securities fraud case
A Houston court hearing is set for tomorrow in the securities fraud case against Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Paxton was later acquitted, on a party line vote, in the Texas Senate.
The whistleblower civil lawsuit is still going on. This week, Paxton got a judge in Burnet County to issue a restraining order in that case, which is being tried in Austin.
The Burnet County judge temporarily blocked an attempt by the whistleblowers to get Paxton to give a deposition. FOX 7 spoke to constitutional law attorney David Coale about how these separate cases are tangled together.
