Talarico is leveraging this to flip Texas’ traditional Republican “tough on crime” stance against Paxton, echoing tactics used by Senator John Cornyn in their own primary battle. Even some Republicans, including state reps Jeff Leach and Pat Curry, have criticized the deal as disastrously mishandled. Assistant AGs defended the decision as necessary to protect the child’s well-being, citing the child’s expressed preference to move on from further legal proceedings. Talarico is now demanding full transparency, calling for the release of all documents related to the plea agreement — drawing a parallel to the bipartisan push for Epstein file access.
