Reported by the Texas Tribune, Paxton will also be investigating two groups responsible for sponsoring the flights away from their work. One is Beto O’Rourke’s Powered by People, and another is a George Soros-backed PAC.

UPDATE: While this article was being reviewed, Paxton announced he is SUING Beto O’Rourke.
