"Outside Lawyer Takes Center Stage in Ken Paxton Impeachment Trial"

The impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton continued with testimony from Brandon Cammack, the outside lawyer Paxton hired to investigate a campaign donor's complaints. Cammack testified that his life was upended after taking on the job, as he faced cease and desist letters and was told his contract was invalid. He also stated that Paxton never asked him to break the law. Other witnesses included a credit union CEO who testified about a controversial legal opinion from Paxton's office that delayed a foreclosure sale, and a former deputy attorney general who claimed Paxton intervened in a lawsuit to help the campaign donor.
