Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has previously fought in courts for President Donald Trump's causes is living up to his reputation by not abandoning the president like several of his supporters and supporting his baseless claims of voter fraud in an attempt to overturn the election. Keeping in line with that, the Texas attorney is taking the president's voter fraud conspiracies to the Supreme Court.

On Tuesday, Paxton brought a lawsuit to the Supreme Court against key states Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Wisconsin. The lawsuit aims at throwing out ballots cast by millions of voters in the aforesaid states that President-elect Joe Biden defeated the president by a considerable margin.

This is not the first time Paxton has taken up legal arms for defending the president's policies. Paxton locked horns with Texas Democrats earlier this year in the courts over their push for expanding access to voting by mail. Trump has been baselessly claiming that voting by mail would lead to voter fraud in the state due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Moreover, he led a legal drive against the ACA (Affordable Care Act) before the Supreme Court. He has also supported several controversial policies introduced by the Trump administration, including a travel ban and an attempt to discontinue the program protecting some undocumented immigrants brought to America as children from deportation.

This latest legal challenge is not a last-minute attempt to make sure Trump doesn't end up leaving the office in Jan., but also comes as he faces a set of criminal allegations. Paxton is facing accusations of crimes after eight of his top aides said they believe he ignored the law and used the agency's resources to do a favor for a political donor.

The allegations have led to an FBI investigation, according to two sources familiar with the probe. Associated Press reported. While the investigation seems to deepen, Paxton's political star looks to be rising on the right.

By challenging the election results in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, he has emerged as the nation's biggest political news story. The president continues to contest this settled election, relying heavily on a lawsuit that has involved nearly every state.

Paxton on Wednesday joined Glenn Beck and Lou Dobbs to discuss the case, which has been cheered by the conservatives. He joined Trump on Thursday for lunch at the White House. This isn't the first comeback for Paxton, who managed to hold on politically despite a failed bid for Texas House speaker in 2010.
