Following the accusations against him and the subsequent order to preserve related documents and evidence, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton faced another incident at his office.
The Texas Department of Public Safety investigated and determined that the fire, which occurred just hours after the accusations, was unintentional.
Surveillance footage released by Paxton’s office showed flames emanating from a dumpster before being extinguished.
Although it was established that the fire was not deliberately set, Paxton expressed his disapproval of the media coverage surrounding the incident.
Paxton strongly condemned what journalists and public figures deemed irresponsible and reckless speculation.
He called for retractions and apologies from those responsible for spreading what he considered false disinformation about the incident.
The Attorney General’s office took to Twitter, sharing videos and informing the public that an individual had intentionally ignited a dumpster fire at approximately 6:30 pm on Wednesday.
They sought the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect responsible for the act.
To aid in the investigation, the Austin Fire Department Arson Investigators collaborated by gathering samples and forwarding them to the state laboratory, as requested by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
