BREAKING: Fort Bend County District Attorney Brian Middleton has just accused the attorneys representing County Judge KP George of “calculated deception” in a shocking court filing. Middleton is seeking sanctions against attorneys Jared Woodfill and Terry Yates, claiming they misled the judge overseeing George’s criminal cases.
In his urgent filing, Middleton alleges that George’s legal team intentionally misrepresented key facts in an effort to have the indictments against him dismissed. The accusations come amid ongoing legal battles stemming from George’s indictment for allegedly posting fake, racist messages during the 2022 election campaign.
Middleton asserts that Woodfill and Yates falsely claimed that evidence crucial to George’s defense was destroyed. “The assertion that a portion of the video no longer exists is patently false,” he stated. The attorneys are accused of misrepresenting that three minutes of a witness interview, which could exonerate George, was deleted.
“Their habitual disregard for the truth extends to their representations of fact,” Middleton emphasized. He pointed out that the defense team received the complete recording from two different camera sources, contradicting their claims that evidence was lost. “All recordings from both devices were provided to George’s attorneys in discovery,” he added.
In an explosive statement, Middleton claims that this misconduct is not just a misstep but a deliberate attempt to mislead the court. He criticized George’s attorneys for their “bad faith” actions, stating that such behavior undermines the integrity of the legal profession. “This court has the inherent authority to discipline attorney misconduct,” he declared.
The stakes are high as the next hearing is scheduled for mid-December. Middleton is urging the court to impose penalties on George’s attorneys, which could include fines, contempt findings, or even disciplinary action through the Texas Bar Association.
The backdrop of this legal drama includes George’s indictments from October 2024 and March 2025, related to allegations of campaign finance violations and the posting of deceptive online messages. Notably, George’s former chief of staff, Patel, has already pleaded guilty to his involvement in the scandal.
As this case unfolds, the implications for George and his team are profound, with the potential for significant legal repercussions. The public and legal communities are watching closely, eager for updates as the situation develops.
