Musk Lawyer Launches Bid For Texas Attorney General

The Texas Tribune reports:

Former U.S. Attorney and Elon Musk lawyer John Bash is the first to throw his hat in the ring to replace Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is making a bid for a U.S. Senate seat.

Bash previously worked as a federal prosecutor for the Western District of Texas until 2020, and served as a special assistant to President Donald Trump during his first term. Since resigning as a government attorney, he has taken on cases such as defending Musk against a then-college student who sued him for defamation.

Bash’s wife, Zina Bash, previously worked as Paxton’s senior counsel until 2021. Bash describes himself on his campaign website as the “left’s worst nightmare” and pledges to “stop woke lawfare cold.”
