Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, will not testify at his own Senate impeachment trial, his defense team said Tuesday.

Tony Buzbee, Paxton’s attorney, said in a statement obtained by The Epoch Times that the impeachment is a baseless attack on his client by political foes intent on damaging one of America’s most prominent legal conservatives.
