Ken Paxton agrees to apologize, pay $3.3M in taxpayer money to four former staffers who accused him of corruption

The payout would not come from Paxton's own pocket but from state funds, which means it would still require approval by the GOP-controlled Texas Legislature.

The settlement also prevents Paxton from seeking the withdrawal of a 2021 appeals court ruling that state whistleblower law applies to the attorney general. The deal comes more than two years after Paxton's staff accused him of misusing his office to help Austin real estate developer Nate Paul, whose business was also under federal investigation. The allegations centered on Paxton hiring an outside lawyer to investigate Paul's claims of misconduct by the FBI.
