Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's attorneys filed two motions to the state Senate just before the deadline.
Shortly before the Saturday deadline, Paxton's attorneys filed a motion to dismiss what they argue is inadmissible evidence and to dismiss Article V, the Disregard of Official Duty. The embattled attorney general's attorneys had previously filed motions to dismiss 19 articles of impeachment, bar three Democrats as jurors, and exclude evidence they argued was inadmissible, among other motions.
The second motion moved to dismiss the charge that Paxton committed an official disregard of duty under Article V by allegedly engaging in a"baseless complaint" to the benefit of Paul. His attorneys argued that the charge is completely unprecedented in 500 years of English and American parliamentary procedure and isn't an impeachable offense.
