The Texas House of Representatives General Investigating Committee heard testimony on Wednesday surrounding allegations against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Paxton faces securities fraud charges, and they accuse him of using taxpayer money to settle a $3.3 million whistleblower lawsuit. In addition, former Paxton employees allege after they reported his misconduct, Paxton fired them. The AG responded to the allegations Wednesday afternoon and blamed Texas Speaker of the House Dade Phelan.
