"Attorney General Ken Paxton's Securities Fraud Trial Date Confirmed for April 15"

Attorney General Ken Paxton's trial on securities fraud charges has been scheduled for April 15, over eight years after he was indicted. The charges stem from allegations that Paxton solicited investors in a technology company without disclosing that he was being paid to promote its stock. Paxton, who has pleaded not guilty, recently faced an impeachment trial on unrelated allegations and was acquitted. However, his legal troubles persist, including a federal investigation into claims made by former top staffers. The trial has been delayed due to pretrial disputes, including a pay dispute between the special prosecutors and Paxton's defense team.
