Ken & Angela Paxton: Texas' Most Transparent Divorce Secrets
In a showdown straight from the Texas soap opera playlist, state AG Ken Paxton and Senator Angela Paxton are litigating their marital meltdown under a secrecy order contested by big guns like The Washington Post and WSJ. Filed July 2025, Angela accused Ken of adultery, promptly sued to seal the caseâprobably to hide who's buying all those McKinney properties they forgot to disclose on state ethics forms. Judge Ray Wheless, ex-recipient of Paxton campaign cash, bowed out, leaving Lindsey Wynne to untangle this political mess involving alleged fraud, six charges of impropriety, and a 2015 felonies dodge through community service. Meanwhile, Angela demands a 'disproportionate share' of assets and Ken pins the divorce on political enemies. Democracy sure smells like divorce court down in Texas.
