"Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Faces Deposition in Whistleblower Case Amid Calls for Impeachment Reconsideration"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by KXAN.com
The Texas Office of the Attorney General has filed an emergency request with the Texas Supreme Court to block depositions from Ken Paxton and his deputies in a whistleblower lawsuit, arguing that Paxton previously elected not to contest any issue of fact in the case. The whistleblowers' attorneys have filed a response urging the Supreme Court to deny the request. Separately, a Travis County court will have a hearing over the OAG's motion for entry of a judgment in the case, and State Sen. Drew Springer has sent a letter asking the Texas Senate and lieutenant governor to consider reopening the impeachment process based on Paxton's recent legal maneuvers.
