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.

Supreme Court to rule on Trump Immunity
SUMMARY: The Supreme Court is concluding its term unusually late, meeting into early July, with a highly anticipated decision pending. The case concerns whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. This case was argued on April 25, and its delayed resolution impacts the potential for Trump to stand trial before the November election. The timing of the court’s decision is crucial, as the delay means Trump is unlikely to face trial before the election, regardless of the ruling’s outcome. (© 2024 The Associated Press.
