The U.S. Justice Department in Washington has now assigned its Public Integrity Section to conduct the criminal investigation into Attorney General Ken Paxton.
In doing so, the Justice Department recused the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western District of Texas, based in San Antonio.
A defense attorney for the Attorney General, Dan Cogdell, told CBS 11 Thursday the Justice Department is doing the right thing and that the Paxton team had expressed concerns about the integrity of the federal investigation in Texas when it began more than two years ago. ."I don't anticipate that $3.3 million will be in the House budget. Mr. Paxton is going to have to come to the Texas House. He'll have to appear before the House Appropriations Committee and make the case to that committee as to why that is proper use of taxpayers' dollars and then he's going to have to sell it to 76 members of the Texas House. That's his job, not mine.
