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.
Tony Buzbee engages in some last-minute campaigning in Houston on Nov. 5, 2019, during his unsuccessful bid for Houston mayor., The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
In a new Instagram post Tuesday, Buzbee announced a 2 p.m. Wednesday news conference in Austin “regarding the fatally flawed impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton.” Buzbee has tried a number of high-profile cases, including his defense of Perry against abuse-of-office charges in Travis County that were eventually thrown out by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. Those charges stemmed from Perry’s threat to veto funding for the Travis County district attorney’s office Public Integrity Unit if then-District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, a Democrat, did not resign after a drunk driving charge.
In 2021, Buzbee filed a $750 million lawsuit against rapper Travis Scott on behalf of 120 victims who died or were injured during a crowd crush at the Astroworld music festival. On the other side of the impeachment fight, DeGuerin defended former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, a Republican, against charges that he illegally funneled corporate donations to members of the Texas Legislature in 2002. He also defended former U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, from misconduct charges; New York real estate mogul Robert Durst during his 2003 murder trial and acquittal; and Branch Davidian leader David Koresh during the 1993 Waco standoff.
