Texas Supreme Court denies Ken Paxton’s request to block testimony in whistleblower lawsuit
SUMMARY: The Texas Supreme Court denied Attorney General Ken Paxton's request to block his deposition in a lawsuit from his former top deputies, who allege Paxton wrongfully terminated them after reporting him to federal authorities. The whistleblowers are seeking sworn testimony from Paxton and three of his top aides. This lawsuit stems from 2020 after the officials were fired after reporting Paxton to the FBI. The OAG decided to end the case by paying the whistleblowers $3.3 million, but when Paxton asked the Legislature to fund the settlement, it triggered an investigation and Paxton's impeachment. The Supreme Court also denied Paxton's request to dismiss the lawsuit.

SUMMARY: Rudy Giuliani has been disbarred by the Appellate Division First Department in New York, a consequence of his false and misleading statements related to former President Donald Trump's 2020 reelection efforts. Giuliani claimed he believed his statements at the time, but the court was unconvinced, arguing he should have known better. The ruling emphasizes the seriousness of his misconduct and its contribution to national strife post-election. Giuliani and several Trump allies pleaded not guilty in Arizona for efforts to overturn the election results, and he agreed to cease election fraud allegations against two Georgia workers after losing a defamation case.
