What was said

""Well, uh, back in 2020, uh, eight of his assistants turned him into the FBI for fraud. One of them was a 50-year Texas Ranger. He fired that guy. Five decades of service in the Texas Rangers.""

Comedian Ron White alleges Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was reported to the FBI by eight senior staff in 2020 and later fired some of the people involved, including a long-serving Texas Ranger. White claims the resulting legal disputes ended with a $6m payout that was ultimately borne by taxpayers, and argues Paxton should not remain in office.
