Trump’s floundering Senate pick partied in Dubai with mistress and two US fugitives: report

What the coverage shows

All three outlets center the same basic allegation: Ken Paxton was in Dubai on New Year’s Eve with two U.S. fugitives, and both The Independent and CNN also mention a woman described as not his wife. The Independent frames the item around Trump’s Senate pick and adds the midterms race, while CNN foregrounds that the claim comes from a Wall Street Journal report and notes video evidence; Breaking Points uses the most direct, punchy language, calling the men “fraud fugitives.”
