Texas Supreme Court blocks Attorney General Ken Paxton's deposition in whistleblower case
Earlier this month, Paxton announced his team was not going to continue contesting the lawsuit filed by four former top deputies who were fired after reporting him to the FBI for alleged corruption and misuse of public office.
Paxton’s deposition was scheduled for Thursday. But on Tuesday the all-Republican court issued an order putting the deposition on hold and giving the parties until Feb. 29 to respond. The high court’s ruling came hours after former President Donald Trump called on the justices to stop the whistleblower case. “Enough time and money has been wasted forcing Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, to defend himself, instead of defending our broken Southern border,” Trump posted Tuesday morning on Truth Social
Of course they did. When will the people of this state start to hold our lawmakers accountable for the misery they inflict?!
The Texas Supreme Court isn't even trying to appear impartial
Hate it here but can't afford to leave.
I'm heading to Portland this summer and never looking back.
