'When asked about the lawsuit related to ATP, Johnson said it’s something he’ll look more into.
“I’ve just heard about that,” Johnson told KXAN less than 24 hours after the election. “I really don’t know anything about it. It’s something I’ll have to look at.”’
People are assuming he’ll drop the lawsuit simply because he’s not Ken Paxton, but the man himself has expressed no opinion at all.
A little odd that he seems to be Mike Johnsoning the topic. It’s a big case and you are the Attorney General elect. If it is a matter of not wanting to comment on cases yet then say that. But to say you don’t know anything about it is weird.

Sounds like he needs some more feedback from the public to make sure he makes the right decision.
