Texas Supreme Court Dismisses Disciplinary Action Against Brent Webster Over 2020 Election Lawsuit
Dec 31, 2024, 06:31 PM
The Texas Supreme Court has dismissed a disciplinary action initiated by the State Bar of Texas against Brent Webster, the First Assistant Attorney General, for his involvement in a lawsuit challenging the 2020 presidential election results. The court's decision, made by a 7-2 vote, upheld that the State Bar's attempt to sanction Webster for alleged false statements in the lawsuit overstepped its bounds, citing a violation of the separation of powers doctrine. The lawsuit in question was filed by the Texas Attorney General's Office, led by Attorney General Ken Paxton, against the results of the 2020 election in several swing states. The dismissal of the case against Webster is seen as a significant victory for Paxton's office, as he faces similar allegations in a pending case. Paxton celebrated the ruling, describing it as an end to a 'witch hunt' against his office's leadership, and emphasized their commitment to fighting for secure national elections.
