After Nate Paul gave Ken Paxton's mistress a job, Paul allegedly renovated Paxton's Austin home for free, even upgrading the countertops to granite after Paxton demanded it.
Months after the renovations were done and a day after Paxton's top aides met with the FBI to blow the whistle on his shenanigans, Ken Paxton wired $121,000 to a company called Cupertino Builders, which is managed by one of Paul's buddies and didn't even exist until after the home renovations were done.
What did Paul get in return for a job for Paxton's mistress and renovating Paxton's Austin home? Since Paul was under siege from angry investors and facing money problems he allegedly got Paxton to use the AG's office to help keep Paul's company afloat.

New text message. I’m assuming this information comes from the 4000 pages the House released earlier. I interesting also assume this will be evidence presented in trial.
I had wondered about the “receipt” Tony Buzbee mentioned in opening arguments. I specifically wondered if any receipt was backdated. Of course, if Paxton’s bank records show a transfer long after the fact to a company that didn’t exist at the time (but conveniently was a successor in interest to…whom, exactly?), raises many more interesting questions.
And back in the trial, it sounds like Buzbee’s defense is a conspiracy theory:
Buzbee accuses the former first assistant attorney general of “staging a coup”Which is not so much a defense as a distraction.
