Texas state Rep. Bryan Slaton’s odd absence is subject of ‘outrageous allegations,’ his lawyer says
A criminal defense lawyer retained by state Rep. Bryan Slaton, called rumors swirling about him"outrageous" in a brief statement released Monday.
Last week, as social media was abuzz regarding Slaton's whereabouts, Rep. Andrew Murr, R-Junction, who chairs the House's General Investigating Committee, issued a statement without context saying the panel does not confirm or deny any ongoing investigations. The conservative firebrand and former minister from East Texas has garnered a reputation for pushing politically extreme, attention-grabbing bills, such as one calling for Texas to secede, and another providing tax cuts for straight couples with children. He has often locked horns with more moderate members of his party.
