Nate Paul, a real estate investor and close associate of impeached Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, has been charged with eight felony counts of financial crimes.

Details of Paul’s dealings with the AG came to light in late May when Paul was accused of giving Paxton’s “on and off” mistress a job in exchange for help.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is accused of misusing his powers to help Austin real estate player Nate Paul delay foreclosure auction of several buildings.
