Court documents provide details into investigation of Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo’s office, $11M controversial COVID-19 vaccine outreach contract
A week after Texas Rangers executed a search warrant, the documents say investigators were seeking electronics like computers and phones, looking for evidence of tampering with a governmental document and misuse of official information.
The documents say county staffers allegedly shared information about the project with Elevate Strategies, the vendor who got the contract, before a request for proposals became public. An attorney for Judge Lina Hidalgo said in a statement, “The misleading storyline of today’s release is the latest act of political theater from a politically motivated investigation. Ultimately, this was about dedicated public servants trying to get the best team to fight COVID-19 in Harris County. Since she came into office, Judge Hidalgo has held herself and her staff to the highest ethical standards and is the only official to refuse donations from all County vendors.
