A few hours after saying he was being sued by the bar, Paxton’s office announced an investigation into the Texas Bar Foundation for “facilitating mass influx of illegal aliens.”
Attorney General Ken Paxton said Friday hes being sued by the state bar for professional misconduct tied to his lawsuit to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in four battleground states.Texas Attorney General, the state's top lawyer, said Friday the state bar was suing him for professional misconduct related to his lawsuit challenging the 2020 presidential election.
"Had AG Paxton taken the time to come and speak with us rather than issue a press release, I am confident that he would have found no wrongdoing on the part of the Foundation," Dawson said."Nevertheless, the Foundation is happy to cooperate and provide the AG’s office with documents and information relevant to the investigation.
The commission said Webster had violated the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct by engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation.Because Paxton appears to have chosen a trial over an administrative hearing, the case would be tried in Travis County, Harrington said. The case would not be overseen by a judge from the heavily Democratic county, however.
