Another key witness testifies AG Paxton was not bribed

JTN– Drew Wicker, former personal assistant to and close friend of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his wife, Sen. Angela Paxton, testified that he had no evidence of and did not witness Paxton being bribed by Austin real estate developer Nate Paul, contradicting the House managers’ allegations in Article 10 of the impeachment charges.

Paxton is standing trial in the state Senate after the House approved 20 articles of impeachment against him on charges ranging from bribery, abuse of public trust, being unfit for office, among others.

Article 10 alleges Paxton received a bribe from Paul to renovate his Austin home. To date, no witness and no House attorney has provided physical evidence to support this allegation. Instead, receipts, wire transfers and insurance claims entered into evidence by Paxton’s lead attorney, Tony Buzbee, and affirmed by Wicker, indicate the opposite.

“You’re not accusing Paxton of bribery are you?” Buzbee asked Wicker.

“I am not,” he replied.
