Texas Democratic candidate for governor sues to review emails between Elon Musk and Greg Abbott

Texas state Rep. Gina Hinojosa, the Democratic nominee for governor, announced a lawsuit Monday against Gov. Greg Abbott over emails between his office and Republican ally Elon Musk .
Hinojosa — who is challenging Abbott in a tight contest — said at a news conference that she filed the suit to obtain redacted documents that “Abbott refused to release,” claiming they were being withheld because they are “intimate and embarrassing.”
A spokesperson for Abbott called the lawsuit “baseless” and “nothing more than an act of desperation.”
