Nate Paul, the real estate investor accused of bribing Attorney General Ken Paxton, is in Travis County jail on an FBI hold for a felony crime, according to jail records that do not indicate the charge he faces.
Paxton was impeached last month over allegations, initially reported to law enforcement by several of his former aides, that he took a series of actions abusing the authority of his office to help Paul.
In exchange, the Texas House's articles of impeachment allege, Paxton received help with home renovations as well as a job for a woman with whom he allegedly was having an extramarital affair.
The FBI has reportedly been investigating the situation since the whistleblowers first made their report in October 2020.
