Lina Hidalgo Aides Indicted On Corruption Charges

Several previous LinkSwarms have reported on the burgeoning Harris County corruption scandals (many reported by Holly Hansen) involving corrupt no-bid contracts and FBI raids. Now the scandal has finally resulted in indictments.

    Three employees of Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo have been indicted by a grand jury on charges related to how they helped award a contract for COVID-19 vaccine outreach last year.

    The Harris County district clerk lists two felony counts each for chief of staff Alex Triantaphyllis, policy director Wallis Nader and policy aide Aaron Dunn. The charges are misuse of official information and tampering with a government record.

    The charges add weight to a scandal Hidalgo has attempted to dismiss as politically motivated, and they threaten to tarnish her image as an ethically minded public servant as she seeks reelection this year. Hidalgo is widely seen as a rising star in the Texas Democratic Party and a future statewide candidate.

Three employees with Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo’s Office are now named in felony indictments filed on Monday.

Online court records show Hidalgo’s chief of staff, Alex Triantaphyllis, policy director Wallis Nader and a former senior advisor, Aaron Dunn, now face felony indictments for tampering with record and misuse of official information.

Triantaphyllis, Nader and Dunn were previously named in search warrants executed by Texas Rangers on March 11.

According to search warrants, investigators were looking for any communications or files that may show they disclosed non-public information to Felicity Pereyra, who founded Elevate Strategies.
