Texas taxpayers will pay $3.3 million to whistleblowers who reported alleged wrongdoing by their boss, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, to law enforcement, under the terms of a mediated settlement agreement
AUSTIN, Texas— filed Friday.
The settlement is contingent upon the funds being approved through the Texas Legislature, attorneys said. It would put an end to legal battling between Mr. Paxton and his former top deputies, who in 2020 accused him of using his office illegally to interfere with a federal investigation into a campaign donor.
