Post-election Criminal Investigation Likely for Ken Paxton
Lone Star Project Director Matt Angle says Paxton has indictment hanging over his head
The Travis County District Attorney has confirmed that any investigation into the criminal felony complaint filed against Republican candidate for attorney general Ken Paxton would take place after the November 4th General Election. It's a clear signal to voters that electing Paxton would subject the Texas AG's office to immediate post-election uncertainty, disruption and dysfunction.
"If elected Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton will enter office with a felony indictment hanging over his head. Paxton is not just damaged goods, he's doomed goods," said Lone Star Project Director Matt Angle.
According to the Houston Chronicle article, if the district attorney launches criminal proceedings after November, it would mean Paxton could be facing a grand jury in his first few months as a statewide elected official.
