One day 5 of the Ken Paxton Impeachment trial, witnesses testified about the motivations behind why the Attorney General had allegiance to Austin Developer, Nate Paul. The defense claimed Paxton didn’t do anything criminal.
The historic impeachment trial of suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton is underway in the Texas Senate. He faces 16 articles of impeachment that accuse him of misusing the powers of the attorney general’s office to help his friend and donor Nate Paul, an Austin real estate investor who was under federal investigation.
Monday’s first witness focused on Paxton’s insistence the Texas Attorney General’s Office involve itself in investigations into Nate Paul, the real estate developer at the center of the impeachment.
Criminal attorney Brandon Cammack was the first witness called Tuesday by House impeachment managers. In 2020, he was the outside attorney Ken Paxton hired to investigate federal and local officials related to the FBI searches of Austin real estate developer Nate Paul’s home and businesses.
