Famed Houston attorneys Dick DeGuerin and Rusty Hardin will serve as lead prosecutors for the Texas House in the Senate impeachment trial of suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton.
At a brief news conference Thursday, Hardin and DeGuerin said they were honored to represent the House in Paxton's trial, which has not been scheduled but will occur before Aug. 28, according to a resolution recently adopted by the Senate.
Hardin said their job was to be transparent as they lay out all of the allegations against Paxton so senators, who will sit as a jury, as well as members of the public can decide for themselves if Paxton deserves to be permanently removed from office.
Of the accusations against Paxton detailed in the 20 articles of impeachment, Hardin added: “"I promise you it is 10 times worse than what has been public.”
