BREAKING: Fort Bend County District Attorney Brian Middleton has just filed a motion urging a judge to sanction the attorneys of Fort Bend County Judge KP George, alleging “calculated deception” in their legal tactics. This urgent development comes as Middleton claims the legal team, led by Jared Woodfill and Terry Yates, has misrepresented critical facts in their efforts to dismiss criminal charges against George.
In a scathing court filing, Middleton accuses George’s attorneys of knowingly citing non-existent case law and misleading the judge regarding evidence. The attorneys claim that Middleton’s office intentionally deleted vital portions of a witness interview that could exonerate George, an allegation Middleton vehemently denies. “George’s Attorneys’ habitual and unabashed disregard for the truth is not limited to their recitations of the law,” he stated, emphasizing the seriousness of their claims.
This legal drama escalates as Middleton reveals that the complete recording of the criticized interview exists and has been provided to George’s defense. “Not only does a complete recording exist, but George’s Attorneys have a copy of it,” he added, underscoring the gravity of their accusations. Middleton’s filing suggests that the attorneys are aware of the complete evidence yet chose to mislead the court, potentially invoking serious repercussions.
The implications of this case are significant. Judge George is facing serious charges stemming from an indictment in October 2024 for allegedly posting fake, racist messages online during his 2022 reelection campaign. The accusations aim to manipulate public perception against his opponent. His former chief of staff has already pleaded guilty in connection with the scandal, raising the stakes for George.
In addition to the October charges, George was indicted in March 2025 on a felony charge of money laundering related to his campaign finances, further complicating his legal battles. As tensions rise, Middleton has requested the trial judge to impose fines on George’s attorneys, hold them in contempt, or even report them to the Texas Bar Association for disciplinary action.
The next hearing in this high-stakes case is set for mid-December, where further developments are anticipated. Middleton’s strong words point to an urgent need for accountability in the courtroom, emphasizing that misrepresentation of facts not only undermines the judicial process but also threatens the integrity of legal representation.
As this story unfolds, its ramifications will be closely watched, especially given the serious nature of the accusations against George and the potential consequences for his legal team. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
