Thursday, the defense attorney for suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton told Harris County Judge Andrea Beall that Federal investigators were speaking with witnesses in a separate investigation into Paxton.

The impeached attorney general was in court for a hearing in an eight-year court saga over whether he defrauded investors in a McKinney technology company.

Paxton has denied any wrongdoing, has pleaded not guilty to the state criminal case, and has said allegations against him are politically motivated. Any federal charges would also take priority over the state case attorneys for Paxton and the special prosecutors against him say.
