'He's corrupt, he's unfit for office': Sen. John Cornyn slams Ken Paxton

Published | Video Starts at 02:38

The DOJ has not charged him they elected not to charge him with any crime. Well, he's completely untrustworthy. He lies to his own family. He lies to taxpayers. He lied to his own conservative legal team that he recruited when they turned him into the FBI for interfering with the federal investigation of one of his campaign donors. And so I think there's a good chance that if he were the nominee, that sort of baggage would weigh not only him down, but the entire Republican ticket. (02:38–02:48)
