The third day of the impeachment trial of Ken Paxton continues in Austin on Thursday.
There was emotional testimony from two key whistleblowers during the third day of Ken Paxton's impeachment trial in Austin on Thursday.
"I worked for the state for eight years as a public servant," Vasser said, holding back tears."As one who values the commitment to public service to set an example for my kids, the people that I worked with, the people that I managed. It's contrary, the statement of being rogue is contrary to the years that I dedicated my life to the state."Former assistant attorney general Ryan Bangert did not sue.
Vasser, who does have a lawsuit against Paxton, said he was fired from the attorney general's office on Nov. 17, 2020, for disclosing confidential information outside the agency. Vasser said the OAG did not disclose what that information was and when he asked there was no response. The Republican-led Texas House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly in May to impeach the attorney general, largely based on his former deputies' claims that he used his power to help a wealthy donor who reciprocated with favors including hiring a woman with whom Paxton had an extramarital affair.
