The state bar sought to take away the law license of Assistant Attorney General Brent Webster over a Texas lawsuit challenging 2020 presidential election results.

First Assistant AG Brent Webster was sued over alleged deceit in a U.S. Supreme Court petition to overturn 2020 election results.

The three-term Republican attorney general said the ruling validates his claim that his office was the target of "political retaliation."

The case stems from Ken Paxton and the aide's effort to challenge the 2020 election results in four key battleground states won by Joe Biden.
