Two familiar names are expected to be part of Texas history when the Senate impeachment trial against the state's attorney general gavels in some time this summer.
DeGuerin is known for defending former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who was accused of misusing corporate donations. He also representedDeGuerin also represented Branch Davidian leader David Koresh during theABC13 spoke with DeGeurin on Friday, who said he had been following Paxton and all of the allegations for years. He was eager to say yes when the chairman of the House impeachment team called him.
Paxton is accused of bribery, retaliation, and obstruction of justice, with some allegations going back to 2015, when he was indicted on securities fraud. DeGeurin said he and Hardin want all hearings to be public. There are 20 articles of impeachment against Paxton, and according to DeGuerin, there is good, strong evidence and witnesses to back up every single article.
"I think the message from the House of Representatives and the committee that was appointed to investigate is, this is very serious and they want to take politics out of it. It's not liberal vs. conservative. It's not Democrat vs. Republican. It's bipartisan, and it's trying to protect the people of the state of Texas from a crooked officeholder," DeGeurin said.The team has an uphill battle. A conviction is much harder than an impeachment.
