Talarico seeks unsealed Paxton depositions in Unity Resources case

Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico filed a motion to unseal two depositions in which Attorney General Ken Paxton testified for Unity Resources, arguing the sworn statements raise substantial ethical questions and should be public before voters. The depositions from 2019 and 2022 involve claims Paxton violated attorney-client privilege and sought revenge against managers who testified against him in a securities case, with broader backdrop including a DOJ corruption probe, impeachment and acquittal. The move underscores how Paxton’s past legal and personal controversies remain central to the race.
