AUSTIN, Texas — Ken Paxton's former lead prosecutor described attempts by top-ranking staff in 2020 to protect the attorney general from making an"outrageous" mistake by getting involved with real estate developer Nate Paul.
The employees did not bring any physical evidence, which Penley told House prosecutor Rusty Hardin was not unusual for a first-time encounter with law enforcement. "He made comments to me that indicated he was very mistrustful of law enforcement. ... He said, 'I've been the subject of a corrupt investigation,'" Penley recalled."I thought he was misguided. I thought he was biased against law enforcement to his detriment."
Penley told Paxton that moving forward and helping Paul would make for a"very dangerous investigation" because Paul was his friend and had donated money to his campaign. Helping him out in an unprecedented way would"look like bribery."
