Texas Attorney General and GOP U.S. Senate nominee Ken Paxton was accused of lunging at an American tourist and attempting to take his phone after the man filmed the Republican walking with his alleged mistress in London.
The tourist, who spoke anonymously to the Daily Mail in an article published on Monday, said the July 1 encounter occurred on Westminster Bridge, near the London Eye, while he and his wife were sightseeing.
According to the man, he recognized Paxton walking with Tracy Duhon, with whom the Mail previously reported Paxton has been having an affair, and recorded an 18-second video of the pair. The footage was later published by the outlet.
The tourist said he had already walked away when he felt someone bump his left shoulder and turned to find Paxton beside him.
“Were you filming me back there?” Paxton allegedly asked.
After the tourist acknowledged that he had, Paxton allegedly told him, “You can’t do that.”
“I stopped because I was just hot, and I said, ‘I can absolutely film you. You’re a public figure in a public place, and I can film you all I want,’” the man recalled.
The tourist claimed Paxton then demanded to see the footage and “lunged for my phone.”
“He says, ‘You can’t do that. Let me have your phone. I want your phone,’ and then at this point it’s a confrontation,” he told the Mail. “He’s yelling at me, and I’m telling him to back off. He lunged at the phone a second time and tried to force it from me.”
The man’s wife said she began running toward the pair after realizing there was a confrontation and pulled out her own phone after her husband yelled for her to record.
The couple alleged Paxton walked away once he saw the second phone. Duhon was not present during the alleged confrontation.
The tourist said he reported the incident to London’s Metropolitan Police but has not pursued criminal charges. He said he was not injured and no punches were thrown.
Paxton’s campaign did not respond to the Mail’s request for comment about the allegations.
Paxton, who is separated but remains legally married, is running against Democrat James Talarico for U.S. Senate. The Mail reported that Duhon divorced her husband in 2025.
