texas ag paxton accused of mortgage fraud

Last edited Fri Nov 7, 2025, 12:20 AM - Edit history (1)

The Trump administration has used allegations of mortgage fraud as a cudgel against the president’s political enemies in New York and California. Now, a small-town official in East Texas is using this same tactic to file a complaint against one of the president’s close Republican allies: Attorney General Ken Paxton.



According to a copy of the complaint he provided to The Texas Newsroom, Bonner wrote there is evidence Paxton has claimed multiple homes as his primary residence and rented other properties he owns in alleged violation of the terms of his mortgages. He cited a report by the Associated Press that said Paxton had claimed at least three homes as primary residences on mortgages.

Lower rates Paxton secured for these homes, the AP story said, could save tens of thousands of dollars over the life of these loans


lock his ass up

... what's a little mortgage fraud between friends?

Seriously - this looks like an attempt by republican backers of senator Coryn to fight off a Paxton primary challenge that is due to heat up soon. We don't want to get in the way of a bloody primary.
