Republican Texas state Rep. Jeff Leach, who\u2019s \u201cproudly endorsed by President Donald Trump<\/u>,\u201d bucked the president Sunday night over his endorsement of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in his race for U.S. Senate, and suggested that voters support Paxton\u2019s GOP opponent instead.<\/p>\n

Leach\u2019s reasoning for breaking with the president, he explained in a social media post on X, was a plea deal<\/u> that Paxton\u2019s office had offered former attorney Adam Hoffman, who last month was sentenced<\/u> to 60 days in jail for \u201csexually abusing a young boy\u201d over a three-year period.<\/p>\n

Hoffman was originally facing a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole, but after the local district attorney recused himself, Paxton\u2019s office took over the case and offered him the chance to plead guilty to \u201ctwo misdemeanors and serve a total of just one day in jail,\u201d The Texas Tribune reported<\/u>. <\/p>\n

\u201cTomorrow morning, May 25th 2026, [Hoffman] will be released from McLennan County Jail after spending just a few weeks there. He will not be required to register as a sex offender. And very soon he\u2019ll be allowed to practice law again,\u201d Leach wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cA real and dangerous predator \u2013 a present threat to Texas children \u2013 will be as free as you and me. A slap on his wrist and a spit in the face to his victim. Why?! How?! Because that\u2019s the deal he made with Ken Paxton. Vote accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump officially endorsed Paxton last week, backing the controversial state attorney general over the incumbent Republican senator, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), and in large part, according to reports, due to MAGA uproar<\/u>.<\/p>\n
