Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his now-estranged wife, State Senator Angela Paxton, declared multiple homes as their primary residences when applying for home loans, raising questions among experts about mortgage fraud, according to new reports.

The Paxtons have long resided in a suburban Dallas home, but also have mortgages on two properties in Austin, the Associated Press reports. Mortgage documents reveal they have declared all three of these houses as their primary residences, according to the outlet.

Declaring three homes as primary residences could have saved them money because interest rates on primary homes are lower than those on secondary homes, the Associated Press reports. The Paxtons could have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to The New York Times, which also reported on the documents.

The head of the Federal Aviation Administration said on Thursday the fatal crash last month of an Air India Boeing BA.N 787 jet does not appear to have been caused by a mechanical issue or inadvertent movement of the fuel control unit or switches.

Reuters reported last week, citing a source, that the cockpit recording on the Air India flight from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick suggested the captain cut fuel to the engines.

The inconsistent interpretations of the deal could possibly be owing to the fact that it was hastily pulled together over the course of an hour and 10 minutes between Trump and Akazawa on Tuesday, according to the FT, which cited “officials familiar with the U.S.-Japan talks.”

And, moreover, “Japanese officials said there was no written agreement with Washington—and no legally binding one would be drawn up.”

Some are thus beginning to wonder whether Trump’s avowed “largest deal in history” even technically counts as a deal at all. Brad Setser, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, wrote on X: “If something like this is not ‘papered’ it isn’t really a deal.”
