The three-term attorney general was impeached by the Texas House in May. Most of the articles of impeachment are related to Paxton’s relationship with Nate Paul, an Austin-based real estate tycoon who is a close friend and campaign donor.
The Texas Senate late Thursday published nearly 4,000 pages of documents submitted by House Impeachment Managers prosecuting the case against embattled Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Thursday’s document dump reveals how Paxton decided to continue helping Paul despite warnings from top staff at the Office of the Attorney General concerning Paul’s behavior. The documents also show how Paxton’s relationship with Paul went beyond merely using his position as AG to protect him.'Ken, you are going to get yourself in trouble
Maxwell interviewed Paul and his attorney on multiple occasions after Paxton asked his department to do so. Maxwell heard Paul accuse the federal government of wrongdoing for executing a search warrant against him. Despite his staff telling him to not get involved, interviews with his deputies show Paxton decided to continue using his office to protect Paul.
“As the Attorney General's conduct ramped up to become more and more unreasonable and illogical and crazy, all I can think about in my mind is, he's pressuring me but I don't have one iota of evidence of any wrongdoing by the people that Nate Paul is claiming did something wrong,” Penley said.
