Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton attended a New Year's Eve party in Dubai alongside two men who were then wanted on federal healthcare fraud charges, according to video reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The gathering took place on 31 December 2024 at a luxury high-rise overlooking the Burj Khalifa. Among those present was healthcare executive Anosh Ahmed, who had donated $190,000 (approximately £142,000) to Paxton, including $25,000 (approximately £18,750) just days after his indictment, according to campaign finance records cited by the newspaper.
