Among those at the event with Texas' top law-enforcement official were two Americans who had been indicted months before on federal healthcare-fraud charges but failed to return to the U.S., Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, according to the court records and people familiar with the matter. Ahmed, a healthcare executive, had donated $190,000 to Paxton, campaign finance records show, including $25,000 days after he was indicted.

One of those fugitives: Former Loretto Hospital executive Anosh Ahmed, who faces fraud charges. He was investigated after @blockclubchi.bsky.social found evidence he took then-rare COVID-19 vaccines from the Chicago hospital for employees at Trump Tower, where Ahmed had a condo.
