AUSTIN, Texas — FBI agents have issued at least one federal subpoena for records from the Texas attorney general's office in an ongoing investigation into allegations against Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Sources confirmed to KVUE the requests for information were issued on Wednesday at the agency's headquarters on West 14th Street. It was not immediately clear how many subpoenas were issued or what information federal agents sought.

The investigation started after top Paxton aides alleged to the FBI in early October they believe Paxton may be committing crimes that include abuse of office and bribery in his dealings with Austin investor Nate Paul.

The group claimed Paxton took a number of steps to benefit Paul, whose offices were raided by the FBI last year. Those steps included hiring an outside investigator to investigate Paul's assertion that the FBI violated his constitutional rights during the raid.

I’m surprised that the left went after Atty. Gen. Paxton so soon. So many of the Trump appointments have been fifth columnists.

This is only because of the law suit Texas filed in protest of the Democrat Party trying to steal this election. While I understand that many on this forum worship the FBI. The FBI has proven themselves to be totally corrupt and nothing more than the enforcement arm of the Democrat Party. They have been at the center of the coup to get President Trump since he announced that he was going to run for President. It has been proven that they lied time and again. Yet some take their word as gospel. Why?

Now the FBI acts. It’s pretty obvious now the DOJ is a branch office of the Chinese Communist Party.

Only traitors and patriots now.

The liberal fascists want to kill the messenger, and deflate the Supreme Court case..

Paxton needs to dig in and tell these liberal fascist jack booted Obama hold overs to eff off and pay attention to the Biden Family Crime syndicate.

So why is Wray still FBI Director?
This corrupt, criminal Christopher Wray should have been terminated by President Trump long long ago.
President Trump can still give this creep the axe today. Sack him already.

Pardon. Get ahead of this nonsense. Trump’s failure has been leaving the FBI in place. This criminal organization needs to be disbanded.

Lol! They can’t be that bad? They’ve done nothing but work against the US for decades. At least they admitted yesterday that were sitting on Seth Rich’s laptop for 4 years. Good bunch of people.

Raise your hand if you’re surprised the left is going after Ken Paxton now. No one? No one? Of course not.

Paxton has been under investigation by the U.S. Attorney for bribery since October and for securities fraud since 2016. This isn't new, though if a subpoena was issued yesterday then the timing is...interesting.
