Judge expands Paxton restraining order against O'Rourke over Texas Dems fundraising
A judge on Saturday expanded Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's (R) restraining order against former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) and his political organization, Powered by People, over its fundraising for state Democratic lawmakers who fled Texas amid the redistricting battle. A Tarrant County judge ruled that O'Rourke and his political group are barred from sending money out of the Lone Star State, coming after Paxton sought to revoke the charter of O'Rourke's organization, accusing it of committing bribery. 'The Court finds that harm is imminent to the State, and if the Court does not issue this order, the State will be irreparably injured. Specifically, Defendants' fundraising conduct constitutes false, misleading, or deceptive acts under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, because Defendants are raising and utilizing political contributions from Texas consumers to pay for the personal expenses of Texas legislators, in violation of Texas law,' 348th District Court Judge Megan Fahey said in a four-page Saturday order. Fahey said that financial institutions and political fundraising platforms, like ActBlue, are barred from transferring O'Rourke's or Powered by People's, a leadership political action committee, donations 'outside of Texas in support of the unlawful scheme.' O'Rourke has been in Paxton's crosshairs as his PAC has been raising money for Texas state legislators who left the Lone Star State for nearly two weeks to prevent the new, GOP-friendly congressional maps from passing. On Friday afternoon, Texas Republicans gaveled in a second special session. Democrats are expected to return to Texas soon. Last week, a Texas judge granted a temporary restraining order against O'Rourke, a former presidential candidate, and his political organization after the Texas attorney general claimed that the PAC was misleading donors. O'Rourke said Saturday morning that Powered by People gave over $1 million to Texas Democrats during a special session, including to the Texas Legislative Black Caucus, the Texas House Democratic Caucus and the Mexican American Legislative Caucus. Paxton celebrated the judge's decision, saying that in Texas, 'lawless actions have consequences, and Beto's finding that out the hard way.' 'His fraudulent attempt to pad the pockets of the rogue cowards abandoning Texas has been stopped, and now the court has rightly frozen his ability to continue to send money outside of Texas,' Paxton said in a statement. 'The cabal of Democrats who have colluded together to scam Texans and derail our Legislature will face the full force of the law, starting with Robert Francis O'Rourke.'

Judge squashes San Mateo County sheriff's attempt to halt removal hearing
A U.S. District Court judge on Wednesday squashed embattled San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus' latest attempt to stall or shut down her upcoming removal hearing. 'The Court is skeptical that Corpus will ever be able to prevail on her claims that the removal process violates her federal constitutional rights,' District Court Judge Vince Chhabria said. 'But even if there were serious questions going to the merits of her claims, the Court would decline to take the extraordinary step of interfering with an ongoing local government process.' Corpus' public removal hearing is slated for August 18, one of the last steps in a months-long venture to oust the first-term sheriff accused of creating a hostile workplace culture. In March, voters overwhelmingly passed a charter amendment granting county supervisors the authority to remove Corpus. Voters greenlit the removal process months after supervisors in November released a bombshell, independent, 400-plus page report that corroborated several allegations against the sheriff. Supervisors called for her resignation, but Corpus resisted, calling efforts to remove her 'disgusting' and filed in January her own lawsuit against the county, seeking $10 million on grounds that she was discriminated against for being Latinx and a woman. At the center of the allegations is Corpus' allegedly romantic relationship with Victor Aenlle, a real estate agent she hired to consult for her transition team. County officials ended his contract after she told the county executive the two had traveled to Hawaii together, but in January 2023, Corpus rehired him as a full-time contractor making $92 an hour, and soon, she had hired him for a $246,000 full-time position, all without publicizing the job opening, according to the independent report. 'Lies, secrecy, intimidation, retaliation, conflicts of interest, and abuses of authority are the hallmarks of the Corpus administration,' retired judge LaDoris Cordell said late last year in her independent report into allegations made against the sheriff. 'Nothing short of new leadership can save this organization that is in turmoil, and its personnel demoralized.' Before supervisors can strip Corpus of her position, she has the right for a full evidentiary hearing, where each side has up to five days to call witnesses. Corpus' removal hearing is expected to conclude August 29. Retired judge James Emerson will then have 30 days to issue an opinion. Afterward, four out of five supervisors must agree to remove Corpus as sheriff for the county to move forward.
