Corrupt piece of shit Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will apologize and fork over $3.3 million in taxpayer funds to the four of his former top deputies who he fired in October 2020 after they accused him of crimes he almost certainly actually committed, the Texas Tribune reports.
“After over two years of litigating with four ex-staffers who accused me in October 2020 of ‘potential’ wrongdoing, I have reached a settlement agreement to put this issue to rest,” said Paxton. “I have chosen this path to save taxpayer dollars and ensure my third term as Attorney General is unburdened by unnecessary distractions. This settlement achieves these goals. I look forward to serving the People of Texas for the next four years free from this unfortunate sideshow.”
Paxton has been reelected twice while under indictment for securities fraud and is at risk of being disbarred for misconduct during his failed Supreme Court lawsuit against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to overturn his Orange God Emperor’s loss in the 2020 election.
