U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk dismissed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's lawsuit against special counsel Jack Smith, declaring the arguments presented 'unserious' and unfounded.
Kacsmaryk emphasized that although Paxton claimed documents were being destroyed, the presence of a paper-shredding truck near the Justice Department doesn't confirm any wrongdoing or targeted document destruction.
Texas AG Paxton sought a court order to preserve records from Smith's investigation into Trump, claiming urgency based on images of a shredding truck, but offered no solid evidence.
Judge Kacsmaryk pointed out that legitimate uses for shredding paper exist and criticized Paxton's lack of jurisdiction in the matter, insisting that the arguments were unfounded.
