Two of Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo's former aides will see criminal charges dismissed in the ongoing bid-rigging case. Prosecutors under Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed motions on Wednesday to dismiss charges of misuse of official information and tampering with records against former policy aide Aaron Dunn and policy director Wallis Nader.

Criminal cases against at least two of County Judge Lina Hidalgo’s former employees are slated for dismissal by the Office of the Attorney General.

This comes nearly three years after the former staffers were accused of steering an $11 million COVID-19 vaccine outreach contract to a preferred vendor.
