The Republican Attorney General of Texas, days after being accused by his own staffers of bribery and abusing his power, has responded by shrugging off the allegations as nothing more and nothing less than false utterances made by rogues.
Ken Paxton said in a statement on Monday that he will not resign.
“The Texas attorney general’s office was referred a case from Travis County regarding allegations of crimes relating to the FBI, other government agencies and individuals. My obligation as attorney general is to conduct an investigation upon such referral,” Paxton said. “Because employees from my office and impeded the investigation and because I knew Nate Paul I ultimately decided to hire an outside independent prosecutor to my his own independent determination.”
“Despite the effort by rogue employees and their false allegations I will continue to seek justice in Texas and will not be resigning,” he added.
