Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a 374-page report Tuesday stating that Paxton’s own office conducted an internal investigation that found that Paxton did not accept bribes and violated no laws or ethics rules regarding his interaction with developer Nate Paul.
Instead, the Paxton report found that some of Paxton’s eight accusers – which include several of his top political appointees and former senior leaders at the Texas AG’s office – are the law violators.
The Paxton report, which is unsigned, found that the “allegations are either factually incorrect or legally deficient.”
“AG Paxton’s actions were lawful, and consistent with his legal duties and prior actions taken
by Attorneys General of Texas. AG Paxton committed no crime,” the report states. “The Complainants provided no evidence to OAG of a bribe, and likewise the investigation
otherwise uncovered no evidence of a quid pro quo relationship between Paul and AG Paxton.”
