AUSTIN — A campaign watchdog group in Texas is urging prosecutors to launch a criminal investigation of Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst over his failure to disclose his vast wealth.
Texans for Public Justice, a liberal think tank, filed a complaint Wednesday with Travis County alleging that the Republican violated state laws requiring politicians to disclose personal financial statements.
Dewhurst is said to be the richest man in Texas politics, but most of his wealth is in a trust whose major assets are not disclosed. Dewhurst has said he has followed the law.
Travis County Attorney David Escamilla says his office is reviewing the complaint and hasn't decided what action to take, if any.
