A Texas district judge has dismissed a professional misconduct lawsuit against a top aide of Attorney General Ken Paxton seeking to discipline them for their effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
Brent Webster, First Assistant Attorney General of Texas, addresses the media during a press conference about related to an unsolved murder from 1980 in Austin, TX on Thursday, June 9, 2022. A Williamson County judge last week dismissed a professional misconduct suit against Webster related to a 2020 suit the office filed seeking to overturn the presidential election that year.
The State Bar filed the suit in May after receiving complaints against First Assistant Attorney General Brent Webster.made dishonest and misleading statements about the existence of voter fraud, including many that had already been debunked in other courts in the country. The Bar’s Commission for Lawyer Discipline did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the ruling or whether it will appeal.
Jim Harrington, a member of Lawyers Defending American Democracy, a coalition of lawyers including two former State Bar presidents, who filed a friend-of-the-court brief in support of the State Bar, called the ruling a"legal charade." The group also filed complaints that prompted the bar to file suits against Paxton and Webster.
