A district court judge awarded $6.6 million combined to four whistleblowers who were fired after reporting Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to the FBI, due to their reports being dismissed and them facing retaliation. The awards reflect evidence of wrongdoing by the state's top law enforcement officer. The whistleblowers were part of a group that reported alleged corruption and misconduct within the office. They faced termination shortly after making the allegations.
