LIVE VIDEO: Texas AG’s Mistress Testifies In His Trial

The Texas Tribune reports:

Laura Olson, the woman with whom suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton allegedly had an affair, is expected to take the witness stand Wednesday after 3 p.m. The prosecution attempted to call Olson as their first witness on Wednesday, but Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said she was not eligible to testify yet because she had not been notified a full 24 hours in advance, as required by trial rules.

Paxton is married to Sen. Angela Paxton, R-McKinney, who must be present for the trial but is not allowed to vote. Olson’s relationship with Paxton has been a central focus of the House’s impeachment case against the attorney general. House impeachment managers allege Paxton misused his office to help his friend and donor Nate Paul investigate his business rivals. In exchange, managers allege, Paul gave Olson a job in Austin so he could be closer to her, among other favors.

Laura Olson’s bag goes for $6,747 on eBay. Balenciaga was recently involved in a scandal for sexualizing children in their ad campaigns. Thanks to @txcapitolgirl for finding the cost on this bag! #txlege https://t.co/Dxp2OCLFom pic.twitter.com/GXsQ9TjkUv
