Texas Attorney General Paxton Faces New Ethics Complaint Over Campaign Statement
• Democratic Congressman Beto O’Rourke has announced he will seek sanctions against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton over what he calls an “outright lie” in a campaign‑finance‑related statement. • The dispute centers on Paxton’s claims about O’Rourke’s campaign‑finance practices, which Paxton’s critics say distort evidence and mislead the public. • Ethics watchdogs say the complaint could prompt a formal review by the Texas State Bar or an ethics committee, though such actions rarely result in immediate discipline.
