State securities fraud felony indictment
On July 28, 2015, a state grand jury indicted Paxton on three criminal charges:[269] two counts of securities fraud (a first-degree felony) and one count of failing to register with state securities regulators (a third-degree felony).[270][271] Paxton's indictment marked the first such criminal indictment of a Texas attorney general in thirty-two years since Texas attorney general Jim Mattox was indicted for bribery in 1983.[272] The complainants in the case are Joel Hochberg, a Florida businessman, and Byron Cook, a Republican and former member of the Texas House of Representatives.[273][274] Paxton and Cook were former friends and roommates while serving together in the Texas House.[274] Three special prosecutors were trying the state's case.[275] ...
Securities and Exchange Commission civil action
In 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a civil enforcement action against Paxton in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The SEC's complaint specifically charged Paxton with violating various provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and various provisions (including Rule 10b-5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by defrauding the Servergy investors.[300] Paxton denied the allegations.[276][301][302][303] One of the defendants and Servergy itself reached a separate settlement with the SEC, agreeing to pay $260,000 in penalties.[304] ...
Whistleblower allegations
In October 2020, seven of Paxton's top aides published a letter to the office's director of human resources, accusing Paxton of improper influence, abuse of office, bribery and other crimes, and said they had provided information to law enforcement and asked them to investigate.[311][312] The letter was signed by first assistant attorney general Jeff Mateer,[312][311] and the deputy and deputy attorneys general overseeing the office's divisions for criminal investigations, civil litigation, administration, and policy.[311] Paxton denied misconduct and said he would not resign.[312][313] By the end of the month, all seven whistleblowers had left the office: three resigned, two were fired, and two were put on leave.[314]
The allegations included that Paxton illegally used his office to benefit real estate developer Nate Paul, who had donated $25,000 to Paxton's 2018 campaign,[315] and that Paxton advocated that Paul's company, World Class, hire a woman with whom Paxton had had an extramarital affair. Paul acknowledged employing the woman but denied that he had done so on Paxton's behalf.[316]
