The Texas House is set to vote on Saturday on the impeachment of Mr. Paxton, the culmination of years of official complaints and legal proceedings involving the three-term attorney general.
So how much do you know about Nate Paul?
The two of us asked each other this question back in the summer of 2019, when Nate Paul s spots got raided by the FBI. Over the years, we d both acquired some knowledge about Paul and his World Class property empire that we hadn t seen in other coverage, enough to know that something about the story was really odd – his coming out of nowhere to acquire a set of high-visibility properties all over town, without evident plans to do anything with these assets, and then running into heavy financial weather almost immediately. Ken Paxton is now nearly a household name across America – the ostensibly Christ-centered heir to the legal activism of his predecessors John Cornyn and Greg Abbott, always at the front lines of culture-war clashes, and in 2020 devoted to raising up Donald Trump and slapping down Texas and especially Austin Democrats in equal measure.
