HOUSTON (AP) — The top elected official in a suburban Houston county has been indicted over allegations he created fake and racist social media posts when he ran for re-election in 2022. A grand jury indicted Fort Bend County Judge KP George on a misdemeanor charge Thursday of misrepresentation of identity of a candidate. The indictment alleges that in September 2022, he used an alias to make campaign communication posts on George’s Facebook page “with intent to injure a candidate or influence the result of an election.” George was then seeking re-election against the twin brother of Texas congressman Troy Nehls. George didn’t immediately comment on the indictment.
The post Texas official indicted, accused of making fake social media posts during election appeared first on KYMA.
