Outspoken Houston attorney Tony Buzbee will lead the legal defense for suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton’s impeachment trial. The high-profile lawyer previously defended former Gov. Rick Perry against abuse-of-office charges.
In a Wednesday statement, Hardin pushed back against Buzbee's claims that Paxton was denied due process, and noted that the House's inquiry into Paxton began only after he asked the Legislature — and, thus, taxpayers — to cover the $3.3 million lawsuit settlement he reached with whistleblowers from his office who said they were improperly fired after reporting Paxton to authorities.
Dan Cogdell, another prominent Houston-based attorney who specializes in criminal defense, was also announced as a member of Paxton’s legal team on Wednesday. Asked who is paying for Paxton’s defense, Buzbee declined to specify but added that it was neither taxpayers nor the Republican Party of Texas.
“These lawyers made their bones by successfully representing some of the most notorious and famous alleged wrongdoers in Texas,” Buzbee said before referring to DeGuerin’s famous defense of New York real estate mogul Robert Durst against 2003 murder charges in Southeast Texas. “I’ve never been called upon to represent somebody who allegedly killed someone, cut up their body and threw it in the Galveston Bay.
