The Texas House Committee on General Investigating issued four subpoenas Friday, though it did not say to whom or for what purpose. This comes days after complaints against Rep. Bryan Slaton alleged he had an 'inappropriate relationship' with an intern.
The complaint said Slaton invited the intern to his Austin condo after 10 p.m. on March 31. A source with direct knowledge of the incident told the Tribune that Slaton drank alcohol with the woman, who was under 21.
Slaton has not addressed those allegations, but a criminal defense attorney he retained has criticized “outrageous claims circulating online” without specifying further. Slaton and his attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday about the subpoenas. Earlier this month, three employees of Rep. Jolanda Jones, D-Houston, resigned in late March, citing an “In a letter, the trio said Jones assigned them work unrelated to state business, regularly required them to work outside of business hours and often threatened to fire employees. They also alleged that Jones had failed to intervene in what they said was an inappropriate relationship between an office intern and the lawmaker’s son.
She also criticized her former employees for publishing the name of the intern, who was previously a victim of sexual assault. Jones added that the allegations against her son were false.House Speaker Dade Phelan, R-Beaumont, has said his office would investigate the allegations involving Jones and Slaton.
