Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows Among 18 Charged in Arizona Election Case

Political backers of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton received campaign donations from a prominent family actively bidding to purchase Jeffrey Epstein’s former private jet, according to a report published by Raw Story.

The disclosure connects Texas political fundraising networks to financial backers seeking ownership of the aircraft frequently dubbed the Lolita Express. Raw Story reported that donors linked to the acquisition effort directed funds toward political entities supporting Paxton.

The aircraft transaction involves a family attempting to acquire the Boeing 727 previously owned by the late convicted sex offender. Federal records and campaign finance disclosures analyzed by Raw Story trace the contributions back to individuals pursuing the purchase of the infamous plane.

Paxton’s campaign apparatus has faced scrutiny over various donor networks and fundraising relationships. The newly surfaced financial links place additional attention on the sources of contributions backing the Texas Republican.

Representatives for Paxton’s campaign did not immediately issue a public response regarding the donations identified in the Raw Story investigation. Further details concerning the aircraft bidding process and the precise campaign committees involved continue to emerge through ongoing reporting.
