Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says he will not resign from his position following accusations of bribery and abuse of office by several top staffers.
In a statement, Paxton called the allegations “false,” and said the accusers are trying to impede an investigation.
The staffers reportedly claim Paxton appointed a special prosecutor to investigate “adversaries” of Nate Paul, a real estate developer and donor to the AG. U.S. Representative Chip Roy, Paxton’s former top assistant, has called for his resignation.
