Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking to jail Beto O'Rourke for allegedly violating a court order prohibiting financial support for Texas Democrats who staged a walkout to delay a new congressional map. Paxton claims O'Rourke violated a temporary injunction at a rally. O'Rourke countersued, alleging Paxton's actions are a politically motivated attack on his voter registration group.
