In a decision announced on Friday, the Texas Supreme Court has ruled that the state’s Attorney General, Ken Paxton (R), must submit to a deposition by February 9th. This pertains to a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by four of his former top aides in 2020.
The affirmation by the Texas Supreme Court comes in response to two lower court rulings, maintaining consistency in the judiciary’s stance on the issue. The nature of the lawsuit stems from allegations by the four former aides of wrongful termination against Paxton’s office.
Given the limited information available currently, further details about the lawsuit and the specific allegations made remain undisclosed. It is clear, however, that the impending deposition of Ken Paxton will draw significant attention in the days and weeks leading to February 9th.
