In December, Associate Deputy Attorney General Andrew D. Leonie had to resign after calling #MeToo women "pathetic."
Paxton is facing a re-election fight in November general election and has been indicted on three felony counts of fraud and violating state securities laws. He faces up to 99 years in prison but will not be tried before the election.
