"Ken Paxton Agrees to Accept Judgment in Whistleblower Case"

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced that he will no longer contest the facts of the whistleblower lawsuit against him and is prepared to accept any judgment, effectively dropping his denial of violating the Texas Whistleblowers Act. This move comes after exhausting options to avoid sitting for a deposition. Paxton's former top deputies allege they were illegally fired for reporting him to law enforcement, and the case has been a costly and distracting legal battle. Despite Paxton's latest maneuver, the whistleblowers are determined to have their day in court and see Paxton answer questions under oath.
