A House committe investigating the January 6 storming of the US Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump wants to see communications the Texas attorney general had with administration.

Paxton was present at the Trump rally in Washington that preceded the deadly violence at the Capitol. Attendees were riled up by false claims of election fraud.

"We will not quit fighting. We're Texans, we're Americans, and the fight will go on," Paxton said at the rally according to the Texas Tribune.

Paxton was one of eight state government officials named in a letter whose communications with the Trump administration are under scrutiny in connection with the Capitol siege.
