The depositions of Attorney General Ken Paxton and three of his top aides have been halted by the Texas Supreme Court, which sided with the agency’s argument that its January concession of the case concluded the dispute.
In 2020, four employees of the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) alleged they were fired for bringing allegations of abuse of office and misconduct against Paxton to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case weaved its way through courts for years, and the allegations served as the basis for an unsuccessful impeachment attempt against Paxton last year.
