The FBI has arrested the Texas real estate developer embroiled in Attorney General Ken Paxton’s historic impeachment, shortly after details of the pair’s unsavory business dealings emerged.
Federal agents took 36-year-old Nate Paul into custody Thursday afternoon and booked him into jail in Austin, Texas, Travis County Sheriff’s Office records show.
Details of the political donor’s charges were not clear, but federal records Friday showed he was being held in connection with a felony.
Details of Paul’s nefarious dealings with the embattled Republican AG came to light in late May, when Paul was accused of giving Laura Olson — Paxton’s “on and off” mistress — a job in exchange for help.
“Nate Paul giving his mistress a job means that he no longer has to drive back and forth from San Antonio to see her, and it makes her more convenient [if she is] here in Austin,” Texas Rep.
