Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is one step closer to his first day in trial over securities fraud charges against him.Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is still set to see his day in trial court over the nearly nine-year-long securities fraud case against him after Harris County District Judge Andrea Beall denied a motion to dismiss the charges against Paxton.
When speaking with reporters after the hearing, Wice said the disagreement over the ultimate resolution to this case was likely the basis of Schafffer's request to withdraw from representation. He denied any ongoing plea negotiations for the attorney general, “He has never entertained the idea of pleading guilty to anything, never will entertain the idea of pleading guilty because he is not guilty,” Cogdell said to reporters.
Cogdell referred to the dispute over the special prosecutors’ pay as a “food fight for fees” and faulted the prosecutors for causing the delays related to their fee schedule. Wice countered Cogdell’s statements, saying the disagreement started when Paxton challenged the prosecutors’ pay in 2015.
