Republican Demands MAGA Star’s Records Over Secret Affair Travel

Texas Sen. John Cornyn’s marketing campaign is demanding paperwork from the state’s Trump-backed attorney basic that will show if he used taxpayer money to fund journey to see his reported mistress.

Politico’s Playbook said Cornyn’s marketing campaign has requested for information of the journey and actions of Tracy Duhon and his U.S. Senate race rival, Ken Paxton.

Duhon is the girl allegedly at the middle of an affair scandal with Paxton that has seen both their marriages collapse, the British Daily Mail reported.

Cornyn’s crew is demanding “Paxton’s travel and activities with Tracy Duhon, Attorney General Ken Paxton’s alleged paramour, since March 2024.”

That escalates an already bitter GOP main between the 2 males wanting to be U.S senator for Texas.

“These records are not only subject to public information law, but relevant to public interest as made clear in a Sept. 12, 2025, Daily Mail article showing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been traveling “across the country and even overseas” to meet a girl named Tracy Duhon with whom he was having an affair,” the submitting states.

The marketing campaign alleged the journeys have been “essential to keeping the entanglement secret” from Paxton’s spouse, which might make them personal in nature. “If Paxton has used official resources to pay for any of these trips, or if the getaways conflicted with responsibilities to the state of Texas, Texans deserve to know,” it continued.

A spokesperson for Paxton declined to remark to Playbook. The Daily Beast has also sought remark.

The Daily Mail reported that Duhon, 57, a Christian influencer and mom of seven, stays based at her millionaire ex-husband Troy’s property on Lake Pontchartrain close to New Orleans. She and Troy Duhon finalized their divorce just last month.

The Mail said Paxton and Duhon met at the Kentucky Derby in 2024, and that their relationship in the end also ended his 38-year marriage to Texas Sen. Angela Paxton.

Multiple sources told the outlet the attorney basic’s spouse realized of the affair earlier this 12 months. She filed for divorce on July 10, saying on X, “Today, after 38 years of marriage, I filed for divorce on biblical grounds… in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage.”

Cornyn, a longtime Senate mainstay, is now combating off Paxton’s Trump-backed problem. His marketing campaign has launched a website called KenStoppers.com, which it describes as a real tip line for alleged misconduct.

Paxton has been weighed down by years of scandal, but so far, he has managed to shake off all the things thrown at him. In 2015, he was indicted for securities fraud and made a $300,000 settlement deal to keep away from a felony trial.

In 2023, he was impeached by the Republican-controlled state House over accusations of corruption and abuse of energy linked to his affair, though the state Senate acquitted him.

The FBI has also investigated whether or not Paxton used his place to secure favors, including home renovations and a job for a girl with whom he was allegedly having an affair.

Add in a $3.3 million whistleblower settlement and his failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election, and Cornyn’s camp is betting voters received’t ignore his travails.

Cornyn, therefore, has framed the race as a referendum on integrity. “This is a test of character, and whether character still matters,” he said earlier this month. The senator must defeat Paxton in the March GOP main to secure a fifth time period.
