(32,980 posts)title-Paxton refuses to release messages about attendance at pro-Trump rally before Jan. 6 insurrection
John Tedesco, Allie Morris, Jay Root | on March 25, 2021
snip-"The news outlets discovered that Paxton's office, which is supposed to enforce the state's open records laws, has no policy governing the release of work-related messages stored on Paxton's personal devices. It is unclear whether the office reviews Paxtons email accounts and phones to look for requested records, or whether the attorney general himself determines what to turn over without any outside checks.
Paxton is now facing some of the most intense public scrutiny of his career. The Republican attorney general is reportedly under federal investigation for allegedly abusing his office to help a campaign donor. He also led a failed attempt to overturn the presidential election, joining with other GOP attorneys general in a lawsuit seeking to invalidate swing state victories by Democrat Joe Biden."
