AUSTIN — A team of investigators released sweeping findings of its legislative ethics probe into years of alleged criminal conduct by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Addressing the House Committee on General Investigating on Wednesday morning, lead investigator Erin Epley said the team of former prosecutors and white collar crime experts looked into “questions not just of criminal activity but also of ethical impropriety” related to Paxton’s relationship with Austin real estate investor and campaign donor Nate Paul.
They were brought on, Epley added, because Paxton’s agency asked the state for $3.3 million to settle a whistleblower case with four former employees who took their concerns about Paul and alleged corruption to law enforcement officials.
