The suspended attorney general’s former high-level staffers faced questions by House prosecutors and Paxton’s defense team.
Upstairs on day one, a small crowd of supporters bussed in from Paxton's home Collin County lined up early, got a ticket and watched from the gallery.
Seven Republican senators sided against Paxton in every motion including North Texas senators Kelly Hancock, Phil King, and Drew Springer. For conviction, 21 out of the 30 voting senators need to side against Paxton's arguments and with the House managers. There are 12 democratic senators, who are expected to vote against the Republican attorney general.Each side had one hour for opening statements but the two sides used different strategies.
On the other side, Paxton's defense unlike the House prosecutors used 59 minutes of their hour between Tony Buzbee and Dan Codgell. The first was Jeff Mateer. He was Paxton's number to man in the office and a longtime conservative lawyer who now works on religious liberty and free speech cases. Bangert was the deputy first assistant attorney general. He spoke about how Paxton called him on a weekend and ordered him to get out an attorney general opinion that benefited Paul's businesses when he never had that type of haste for others."In what way?" asked prosecutor Rusty Hardin.
