HOUSTON, Texas -- Days after a court filing demanded she step aside from prosecuting Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo's staffers, District Attorney Kim Ogg says she won't and she's done nothing wrong.
"We have not targeted or sent a target letter Judge Hidalgo. The staffers have done what they've done. The evidence has been presented to a grand jury and our work continues," Ogg said. Ogg said the motions, filed Wednesday by Hidalgo's indicted senior staffers Triantaphyllis and Nader, was"a string of fictitious and often unrelated incidents linked together to allege some conflict of interest that simply doesn't exist. I've been asking for more money since February of 2019. And certainly before that, I asked the Republican led commissioners court for more money.
"Barbara's a fine lawyer. I've known her a long time," Ogg told 13 Investigates."It's our position that she didn't and I believe that'll be part of the motion ."
