Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will not testify at his impeachment trial, attorney says
A lawyer for embattled Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says the Republican will not testify in his upcoming impeachment trial.
She doesn't have to. The rules passed out of the house state she is required to be there but will not be allowed to vote.
Thanks for the update. FTR she wouldn't have regardless.
I think Paxton is probably going down. Doesn't seem to have a whole ot of friends in the legislature. Wow.
In a new impeachment filing, House investigators revealed new evidence further illustrating the close relationship between suspended Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) and real estate investor Nate Paul, and the great lengths Paxton allegedly took to cover it up.
One charge causing shockwaves revealed that Paul – who was arrested in June for his alleged role at the center of the accusations leading to Paxton’s impeachment – set up a fake Uber account under the name “Dave P.” Both men accessed the account, according to Uber records cited in the filing, with Paxton allegedly using it to visit a woman he had an affair with.
The new evidence could significantly impact how the case proceeds, as Paxton seeks to get 19 of the 20 articles of impeachment against him thrown out. Paxton and his attorneys argue that all but one of the charges occurred before he began his new term in January, and that voters had information on those charges, but voted for him anyway. Paxton’s impeachment trial is currently scheduled for Sept. 5.
The new filing provides much more information than had previously been reported, demonstrating the close relationship Paxton had with the Austin real estate investor and political donor.
House impeachment managers said the new evidence “detail(s) the extensive steps Paxton used to morph the Office of the Attorney General into Paul’s concierge law firm and, along the way, cover up his abuse of the office. And these records show how, time and time again, OAG Senior Staff continually beseeched Paxton to not let Paul use the OAG for his ‘counterattack’ on innocent citizens and law enforcement.”
The filing alleges Paxton used burner phones and secret personal email accounts, and that Paxton “frequently ditched his security detail so he could meet with Paul and others.”
Paxton and Paul often ate together and allegedly discussed a sealed FBI search warrant affidavit for Paul’s properties. Paxton suggested that Paul submit an open records request, which House managers claimed were significant because “Paxton’s office would control the answer regarding whether Paul got the records.”
“That records request by Paul, at the suggestion of Paxton, became an obvious example of how Paxton tried to use OAG for Paul’s direct benefit. Paxton unsuccessfully urged OAG to override decades of established legal precedent to get Paul that confidential material,” the impeachment filing reads, before noting that Paxton ended up successfully providing Paul with the information he wanted.

Didn't know if there is a statue of limitations. It's been on hold for years correct?
He keeps finding ways to avoid things to stall. It's a disgrace and another example of our 2 tiered justice system.
If he's no longer AG. It certainly removes some of his power to avoid things. My guess if he is removed a lot of knives will come our for him.
Theoretically I don’t think there is a limit but practically I would say 420.69 feet
The knives are already out for him. His fellow Republicans are jabbing them in right now.
The question is why now? I thought I saw something about him cracking down on something they were doing or something and now all of a sudden all his baggage mattered.
