The sixth day of proceedings in Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s impeachment trial began with testimony from Houston lawyer Brandon Cammack, who says he was hired by the Office of the Attorney General to investigate a complaint relating to the FBI’s search on the home and business of Austin real estate investor Nate Paul.

In May, Mr. Paxton was impeached by the Republican-led House in a vote of 123-21. He is facing 16 of 20 articles of impeachment on allegations of abuse of power and bribery. Four of the articles were held in abeyance.
