Ken Paxton parties with fugitives

Liz Oyer puts a fireworks celebration beside a question about public responsibility: who was celebrating with Texas's chief law enforcement officer?

In "Ken Paxton parties with fugitives," she cites Wall Street Journal reporting that Paxton spent New Year's abroad with two men who were under indictment in the United States. Oyer describes footage of the group watching fireworks from a luxury balcony, then turns to campaign contributions she says came from one of the men. Her criticism centers on Paxton's associations while serving as attorney general.

The Short drew nearly 100,000 views in its first seven hours. Its projected first-day audience is more than six times Lawyer Oyer's usual Shorts start, though that full-day total is still an estimate.

The focus differs from the DOJ hiring and independence questions in Oyer's recent uploads. Here, she uses a reported social gathering and donor connection to question the judgment of a named public official.
