A DC judge has granted a preliminary injunction against Texas AG Paxton's demand from Media Matters for documents related to its reporting on X and the placement of ads from major advertisers next to Neo Nazi posts on X.
“Plaintiffs’ reporting on matters of public concern are core First Amendment activities,” the judge wrote, asserting that Paxton was pursuing Media Matters with “retaliatory intent” over acts “with no apparent connection to Texas.”
The primary basis of Media Matters lawsuit against Paxton's investigation is that Media Matter
has “no relevant connection to Texas,” explaining that it “does not transact any business in Texas and thus has never registered in the state” and similarly has “not registered as a charity organization in Texas.”
A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction blocking Ken Paxton’s request for internal documents in response to Media Matters’ reporting on X.
