Picasso-faced Texas Attorney General and GOP Senate nominee Ken Paxton rang in 2025 in Dubai with his girlfriend (before his wife found out and divorced him) and two fugitives from justice, Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, donors wanted for some healthcare scam who had also donated $190,000 to Paxton’s campaign, the Wall Street Journal reports on yet another Paxton special.
“As President Trump weighed endorsing Ken Paxton over incumbent Texas Sen John Cornyn this spring, he was told that damaging revelations were likely to surface about Paxton, according to people familiar with the conversations. Trump was dismissive and said there would be more negative material about Democratic nominee James Talarico,” the Journal writes in the lede, lol.
Hilariously, the big “scandal” about Talarico spending nine days at a mental hospital in Ohio pushed by MAGA influencer Nick Sortor turned out to be complete bullshit and Sortor faces legal action.
