Texas Supreme Court rejected Ken Paxton's bid to halt his deposition in a former-deputies whistleblower lawsuit filed by his former top deputies. The deputies allege Paxton improperly fired them after claims he was bribery-linked and abused his power to aid developer Nate Paul. Paxton continues to face other proceedings following his acquittal on impeachment articles.
Less than a year into his first term, Paxton was charged with felony securities fraud. The Justice Department is investigating bribery allegations against him as a Texas House committee conducts its own probe into his behavior.
