Four former senior members of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s staff have been granted permission by a state court judge to carry on their discovery process a whistleblower lawsuit in Austin. This comes after a motion to prevent these ex-aides from pursuing their case, filed back in 2020, was turned down on Tuesday.

The specific circumstances of the legal action, including what prompted its initiation and what it entails, are yet to be extensively reported.
