Houston attorney Tony Buzbee has requested information from the Texas House in what he calls the 'sham investigation' of Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Buzbee released a statement on Wednesday regarding the impeachment and asking for the House to share information he says they are legally required to disclose.Ken Paxton, the suspended Texas Attorney General, expresses frustration over being unable to present evidence in his defense during his impeachment by the House and decides against testifying in his Senate trial. Debate arises over whether his refusal to testify undermines claims of innocence.
Due to these refusals, the House Managers have abandoned the rule of law and have demonstrated nothing but contempt and disrespect for the Texas Senate as they openly mock the process and rules adopted by the upper chamber. The Texas Senate has clearly stated that it intends this process to be fair. However, because of the intransigence of Phelan’s House Managers and their refusal to disclose documents as required by law, it is imperative that the Senate take immediate action to force the House Managers to follow the law.
That’s why I have asked Lt. Governor Dan Patrick to enter a strict and comprehensive scheduling order to set pretrial deadlines that will govern this proceeding. Phelan’s Managers are openly mocking the intent of the Texas Senate to have a fair and open proceeding, and are clearly withholding information that would routinely be disclosed. It is critical the Senate enforce our constitutional guardrails to prevent further institutional damage inflicted by the Texas House.
