Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) is requesting records of his 2026 opponent, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, to determine whether he used taxpayer funds to pay for trips to meet his alleged mistress.

Cornyn’s campaign filed an open records request with Paxton’s office under the Texas Public Information Act for such documents, escalating the feud between the two amid the Texas Senate race. Politico and the Daily Mail reported on the news.
