After senators rejected the suspended attorney general’s bid to dismiss all accusations against him, lawyers for both sides laid out their cases and impeachment managers called their first witness.
Paxton has been mired in legal trouble for years
Paxton’s lawyers, Buzbee and Dan Cogdell, responded with a spirited but tedious defense in their allotted hour — delving into specific details of various impeachment articles to argue that the case against Paxton is a “whole lot of nothing” and based on “nothing of significance.” Buzbee also warned senators that convicting Paxton and removing him from office will have grave repercussions for future political attacks on elected officials in Texas.
Diving into specifics, Buzbee pushed back against House allegations that Paul paid for renovations to the Paxtons’ Austin home, promising to show photos of the Paxtons at Home Depot and pay stubs to prove they paid for the renovations themselves. Buzbee said it was untrue that Paul paid for new granite countertops for the home.
While Paxton’s lawyers used all but one minute of their allotted hour to attack minute details of the accusations, Murr used only 17 minutes to address what he called the “slow creep of corruption” that Paxton introduced into the attorney general's office — offering few details that weren’t already outlined in about 4,000 pages of documents that were filed with the Senate late last month.
