Report: Texas AG Ken Paxton claimed three homes as primary residence

Source: msn/CBS Texas

11h


Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, are longtime owners of a $1.5 million house in a gated community in McKinney. In 2015, they snapped up a second home in Austin. Then another.

The problem: Mortgages signed by the Paxtons contained inaccurate statements declaring that each of those three houses was their primary residence, enabling the now-estranged couple to improperly lock in low interest rates, according to an Associated Press review of public records. The lower rates will save the Paxtons tens of thousands of dollars in payments over the life of the loan, legal experts say.

The records also revealed that the Paxtons collected an improper homestead tax break on two of those homes at the same time.

It is a federal and state crime to knowingly make false statements on mortgage documents. It's also against the law in Texas to collect a homestead tax break on two separate properties.

Paxton is running against Cornyn for the U.S. Senate primary next year and this was carefully buried while they promoted 45 going after Adam Schiff (and NY AG Leticia James) for something similar.

That they want to do. That's exactly where we are at. Those 6 pigs-f6ckers can't delineate between their belief in sky-daddy and judicial impartiality and reason. We are so f6cked. Scary as sh7t. I don't believe they even believe what they push on us Americans. Unless they can't understand science and the vastness of space/time. Absolutely f6cking nuts to even consider that STUPID 6,000-year timeframe of the bible written by a bunch of ancient incels.

other than the religion of self, a made-up religion of judgment of others and greed. Pretending to be Christian is just a ruse.

did he cast three separate votes in each one of the districts where his primary residences are?

Wouldn't surprise me.

I think these kinds of questions are what is needed now. Trust me - if it was a Democratic Candidate the maga pub voters would already have 100 memes about it, and Fox would do a deep dive undercover story.
