An outside law firm has found that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton—who has been suspended from office pending the outcome of his impeachment trial in the Senate—didn’t break any laws or violate office procedure when he fired several individuals who accused him of wrongful dismissal and retaliation.
A report regarding retaliation claims by a number of former employees and political appointees of the Texas Office of the Attorney General (OAG), released by Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP (pdf), found that there was “significant evidence to show the actions of the OAG toward the Complainants were based on legitimate, non-retaliatory, business grounds.”
