Top officials in Texas AG Ken Paxton's office have accused him of taking bribes and abusing his office.
A new Political Action Committee formed by Beto O'Rourke's former statewide field director will raise money to help Democratic candidates beat embattled Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in 2022.
While Dems haven't won a statewide election in Texas since 1994, political observers view the scandal-mired Paxton as a vulnerable target.
The Republican AG faces a years-old indictment for securities fraud, and he was subpoenaed in an FBI probe after his own top aides accused him of bribery and abuse of office. What's more, legal experts heaped ridicule on his failed attempt to have the U.S. Supreme Court hear a case to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the November presidential election.
