In another crazy twist to the Ken Paxton lawsuit, the AG has filed an Answer that essentially admits liability. AG Paxton issued a press release with the Answer that again defames the plaintiffs. Paxton’s Amended Answer comes soon after the presiding judge ordered AG Paxton to appear for his deposition. And, even before that order
I have written about AG Ken Paxton’s transgressions many times, especially about the whistle blower lawsuit against him. See my prior posts here and here.

Just a couple of weeks ago, the Texas Bar first sued Paxton’s First Assistant, Brent Webster. Mr. Webster signed the same very weak lawsuit that AG Paxton filed in 2021. I previously wrote about
Attorney-General Ken Paxton is determined to get into trouble. He filed that very weak lawsuit in 2021 seeking to overturn the 2020 election results.

Most folks who file lawsuits are not afforded the opportunity to submit comments to the media. Most times, the media is not interested in yet another employment lawsuit.
