The House General Investigations Committee alleges that Paxton committed several crimes, including felonies like abuse of office.
The committee convened late Thursday afternoon, only to immediately go into executive session behind closed doors. Moments afterward, Chris Hilton, the litigation chief from Paxton’s office, attempted to register as a witness to the investigation, which was not allowed.
Outside the room, Hilton discredited the committee to reporters, saying they were not trustworthy and had not attempted to get accurate information from Paxton. After speaking with reporters for a few minutes, another official from Paxton’s office pulled Hilton away and went behind closed doors, refusing to answer reporters’ questions. Before they left, they said they would later share more.
