AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed a state bar complaint alleging a top official in the state attorney general’s office lied to the U.S. Supreme Court in an attempt to overturn President Joe Biden’s election victory in 2020.

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.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will be in Tyler next week, he announced Tuesday on social media. Paxton’s visit to the Rose City will be part of a statewide tour on Monday and Tuesday. His tour is in conjunction with Republican Party of Texas Chairman Abraham George, which will include stops in key districts across the state.

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