Dan Cogdell, who represented Paxton for nearly a decade in two high-profile cases, said his former client "has lost sight of his core mission."

The Texas Newsroom received hundreds of pages of documents that pull back the curtain on last year's historic impeachment trial of Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Paxton, a Republican who’s been under indictment for securities fraud since 2015, is scheduled to face a jury in April.

The bombshell request by retiring state Sen. Drew Springer, R-Muenster, comes after Attorney General Ken Paxton decided to stop fighting a whistleblower lawsuit whose claims factored into his impeachment trial.

Paxton, a Republican, beat the impeachment charges and now wants to end the lawsuit underlying them.

Friday’s ruling means Paxton and three of his aides will have to participate in a deposition.

Invoices obtained by The Texas Newsroom through an open records request show that the prosecution billed the state about $3.7 million for their legal teams.

Collin County GOP Chairman Abraham George called Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's acquittal by the Texas Senate Saturday a "triumph."

The historic trial against the suspended attorney general is coming to a close.

Immediately afterward, Paxton's attorneys pushed for a motion that, if successful, would have effectively tossed all impeachment charges against Paxton.
