According to reporting from Fox News Digital, Rep. Wesley Hunt has officially filed a criminal complaint against Senator John Cornyn’s communications director, Matt Mackowiak.
Mackowiak received massive blowback over the weekend after he posted a 2016 provisional ballot belonging to Hunt on X. The ballot included unredacted sensitive information, such as Hunt’s personal address, driver’s license number, and the last four digits of his Social Security number.
The images were reposted by Cornyn’s campaign account but have since been deleted. Fox News Digital also reports that officials are planning to subpoena X in order to retrieve the deleted post.
Hunt’s primary opponent, Texas AG Ken Paxton, also called out the doxing of Hunt, saying in a post on X: “I still can’t believe that John Cornyn’s senior staffer last night doxxed Wesley Hunt’s family and posted his social security number on X and then Cornyn defended it.”
