The closing arguments in the Ken Paxton impeachment trial Y’all-itics special release: September 15, 2023

Before state Senators began deliberating the fate of suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton, attorneys from both sides had one final opportunity to make their case. In this special release Y’all-itics, listen to those closing arguments in the historic impeachment trial. Each side received one hour, but the arguments are split. State Representative Andrew Murr, a Republican who is the chair of the House board of impeachment managers, went first with a 10-minute argument. He was followed by Paxton’s lead impeachment attorney Tony Buzbee, with a brief argument from fellow defense attorney Dan Cogdell. You’ll then hear Rep. Murr conclude his closing, before yielding his final time to state Representative Jeff Leach, another Republican member of the House board of impeachment managers.Closing arguments:State Rep.
