A former Biden administration liaison and local Democratic candidate in Texas—accused of creating a fake Facebook account to send hate mail to his own campaign and opponents—is now under investigation for allegedly impersonating a judge.
Taral Patel, who is running for Fort Bend County Commissioner, is already facing a felony charge of online impersonation for using another local man’s image for his bogus “Antonio Scalywag” profile, which he used to send himself racist comments.
Now authorities believe Patel launched a phony account for a local criminal court judge, Surendran Pattel, and could soon file more charges.
