Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton took to Twitter following Trump’s post.

Biden’s decision to wield the FBI against Trump is a brazen & ill-fated attempt to distract from his own failures.

With his hiring of tens of thousands of IRS agents instead of border patrol, Americans can expect more investigations based on political views & affiliations.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott posted about the reported raid, as well.

This is next-level Nixonian.

Never before has the country seen an Administration go to such extent to use the levers of government to target a former President and political rival.

This weaponizes power to squelch dissent.

Such abuses must have limits https://t.co/Z7L9rW8hHO
