Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton are fighting a watchdog's effort to gain access to records.The Washington, D.C.-based watchdog organization American Oversight is still locked in a court battle with Texas Gov.
“Gov. Abbott’s and Attorney General Paxton’s disdain for the law has been apparent in every step of this process,” Heather Sawyer, American Oversight’s executive director, said in a press release Thursday. The documents the watchdog requested included Paxton’s communications in the lead-up to the so-called “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6, 2021, after which supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol.
When American Oversight first filed the suit, the group pointed out that although Abbott canceled his scheduled appearance at the NRA conference the weekend after the Uvalde massacre and sent a prerecorded video speech instead, the governor’s office claimed that it had no relevant communications with the NRA at the time.
