Prosecution attorneys in the impeachment of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sought to demonstrate through a bank official witness that in 2020 the AG stalled foreclosure of properties owned by developer Nate Paul by using a rushed late-night opinion based on COVID restrictions.
On Wednesday the prosecution finished presenting its witnesses. The defense is to call its first witness on Thursday.
Paxton faces 16 articles of impeachment from an original 20 including disregard for public duty, making false statements, bribery, obstructing justice, conspiracy to defraud, dereliction of duty, and violation of public trust.
