This time the Lone Star State's top prosecutor is blamed for taking a bribe.
Specifically, in exchange for supporting a political donor with his business affairs, Paxton is challenged to take remodeling work on his home, and getting a job for an alleged girlfriend, according to court documents acquired by The Texas Tribune.
His accusers are four former senior aides Paxton had discharged from the attorney general's office.
They claim he used his office to promote Austin real estate developer Nate Paul and help settle a lawsuit and investigate his business rivals. Paul granted $25,000 to Paxton's 2018 re-election campaign.

The four aides who sued Paxton in November after being fired are James Brickman, David Maxwell, J. Mark Penley, and Ryan Vassar.
They allege the firings were punishment for reporting Paxton's actions to federal and state law enforcement agencies, claiming Paxton was abusing his power to help Paul.

A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday on the subject, which Paxton named "false allegations" that were brought by "rogue employees."
His office elaborated on that characterization in a statement it issued on Thursday.

"Any accusations that the attorney general acted contrary to the law are completely false and they will be proven false in court," Ian Prior, a political spokesperson for Paxton, announced.
The lawsuit itself seems long on accusations though short on details.

Although Paul admitted Paxton recommended the alleged girlfriend to him, he stated that was all it was — a recommendation and not a quid pro quo.

On the remodeling issue, the lawsuit declares, "In mid-2020, some of the Plaintiffs received information suggesting that Nate Paul, either personally or through [a] construction company he owns and controls, was involved in the project."
Though, the filing further admitted Paxton's $1 million Tarrytown, Texas, neighborhood home, which he bought in 2018, underwent renovations in 2020, "although permitting records in Travis County could not be located."

The accusers again present no evidence of any wrongdoing.
"We do live in a constitutional republic where the rule of law says that you're innocent until proven guilty, so I'm sure that there will be an investigation going forward and we will learn the results of that investigation," Texas GOP Chairman Lt. Col. Allen West announced in a statement.
After the four former senior aides made their allegations against Paxton, two were placed on leave and were later discharged. The other two were eventually terminated as well.
