Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is sticking taxpayers with $45,000 in legal bills to fight multiple professional misconduct complaints against him in the state bar association over his failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election, the Houston Chronicle reports. “Everyone – including Gov. Abbott and Lt. Gov. Patrick – knows that this witch hunt is a sham. So I’m fighting back. And I’m authorized to do so by law: The acts that the bar and the liberal complainers are crying about were done in my official capacity as Texas Attorney General, and I may use state resources to defend my and my team’s state actions. Period,” said the husband of a really shitty country music artist in a statement.
