Lawyer currently leading Texas attorney general’s office has been swept up in Ken Paxton’s legal challenges - KPRC2 Texas
against Webster as “utterly meritless.” The ruling has since been appealed.
Later that day, Webster ordered Brickman, the deputy attorney general for policy and strategic initiatives, to store his personal cellphone in his car, a “bush-league attempt at intimidation” that was not imposed on other employees, the lawsuit said. The report is dated May 24, 2023 — three months after Paxton agreed to settle the whistleblowers’ lawsuit and the day that the House General Investigating Committee unveiled that it was investigating Paxton in the run-up to impeachment.
Webster ultimately lost by 16 points to Walker, who barely hit the campaign trail and launched a Facebook campaign page five days after voting had already started in the primary. “Brent has invaluable and extensive experience in a variety of legal and policy matters. I am confident that he will diligently and faithfully serve the office and the people of Texas,” Paxton said in a statement at the time.
