Judge expands restraining order against 'Beto' O'Rourke, adds ActBlue [View all]
(The Center Square) A judge has expanded a temporary restraining order against former U.S. Rep. Robert (Beto) ORourke and his organization, Powered by People, as well as ActBlue and any bank or financial institution with whom they do business.
The order was issued on Saturday after Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a motion with the court on Friday requesting it to expand an initial order issued last week.
Eight days ago, a Texas district court granted a request for a temporary restraining order against ORourke and Powered by People, after both claimed to raise money to fund dozens of House Democrats leaving Texas, The Center Square reported. More than 50 left in protest to prevent the Texas House from conducting official business, including voting for a Congressional redistricting bill they oppose.
Paxtons office also launched an investigation into Powered by the People and Texas Majority PAC, The Center Square reported.
