Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to face criminal trial on securities fraud charges
SUMMARY: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will finally face trial on April 15, 2024, after eight years of delays in a case concerning two felony indictments for securities fraud. Paxton is accused of breaking state securities regulations and failing to disclose stock transactions. He was acquitted of impeachment charges in September but did not face the securities fraud charges at that time. Paxton's special prosecutors believe that this trial will be different and will be conducted fairly in an impartial courtroom with the possibility of prison time. Paxton's defense team is satisfied with the trial date and the judge presiding over the case. Additionally, Paxton still faces other pending legal battles, including a wrongful termination lawsuit and potential federal criminal charges.
