Attorneys for embattled Republican Ken Paxton are calling on the Texas Senate to dismiss the impeachment case against the suspended attorney general.
Tony Buzbee, the lawyer representing Ken Paxton in his Senate impeachment trial, speaks during a press conference on Wednesday at the Texas GOP headquarters in Austin.
The state Senate has yet to schedule a date for Paxton’s trial, but the Republican has been temporarily suspended pending action from the Senate. Buzbee said Paxton was never given the chance to testify in front of House investigators. He also slammed House Speaker Dade Phelan and other representatives over the timeline of events leading to the impeachment, claiming it was way shorter than previous impeachments.
The Texas House launched an investigation into Paxton a few months ago after his office asked the Texas Legislature for $3.3 million to settle a lawsuit brought by Paxton’s former deputies.
