No Pardon From Trump For Paxton

Texas AG Ken Paxton

It appears Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton won’t be getting any help from former President Trump. Paxton’s name was absent from a last-minute list of pardons. He’s under investigation for bribery and abuse of office. Paxton’s top deputies reported him to the FBI in September. They say he used his position to help an Austin real estate developer. Authorities have not charged him in federal court, so that any pardon would have been preemptive. Paxton has denied wrongdoing.
