The four whistleblowers suing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton made their first public comments about the case on Monday. The whistleblowers, which include three former deputy attorneys general, say Paxton has made "numerous false and misleading public statements" about them during his re-election campaign. The lawsuit claims the whistleblowers were subjected to harassment and retaliation after they reported Paxton for allegedly accepting bribes and tampering with documents to assist one of his political donors. They are disputing Paxton's statements that the whistleblowers did not say anything to him before filing the report.
