New: Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke said on Monday that oil tycoon Kelcy Warren is suing O’Rourke over his criticism of the windfall profits that Warren’s company made after the 2021 winter storm.
During a news conference in Dallas, O’Rourke said Warren is alleging defamation and trying to “use his billions of dollars to try to shut me down and shut us up from telling the story of what happened to the people of Texas.”Warren filed the lawsuit last month in state district court in San Saba County, accusing O'Rourke of a"relentless and malicious attack" on him. The lawsuit alleges defamation, slander and libel, and it seeks over $1 million in damages.
A Warren lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment on O'Rourke's news conference. Neither did Abbott's campaign.
