Nate Paul, Key Figure in Paxton Impeachment, Hit with Fresh Federal Charges

Nate Paul, the Austin real estate investor who was at the center of Attorney General Ken Paxton's impeachment trial, has been charged with four new federal crimes. The charges include wire fraud related to allegations that Paul lied to business partners who invested in real estate with his company. These charges are in addition to the eight felony counts filed in June, which accuse Paul of providing false information to obtain loans. Paul's trial is scheduled for July 2024. The indictments do not mention Paxton, who was acquitted of impeachment charges in September.
