"Attorney General Ken Paxton Resolves Dispute with Former Employees"

Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced the end of litigation with four former employees, citing their efforts as a waste of taxpayer resources and a distraction from critical state business. Paxton claims the employees' objective is to sabotage his leadership and the agency, and emphasizes his commitment to defending Texas against federal overreach. He asserts that the settlement was initially agreed upon but later disavowed by the plaintiffs, leading to the decision to file an amended answer to enable the trial court to enter a final judgment without further litigation.
