After a lengthy legal battle, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has reached a settlement in the long-running fraud charges against him. The case, which has been ongoing for several years, accused Paxton of securities fraud related to his actions before taking office.
The settlement comes after Paxton was indicted in 2015 on charges of securities fraud and failing to register with state securities regulators. He was accused of encouraging investors to buy stock in a technology company without disclosing that he was being compensated for it.
