Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick Monday issued a gag order in the upcoming impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, saying the all the accusations and counter accusations flying about threaten the beleaguered lawyer's right to a fair trial.
Without naming Buzbee, Patrick in an Exhibit A singled out"an attorney for [Paxton who] used inflammatory and prejudicial language by publicly describing the impeachment as a 'sham engineered by someone with a personal vendetta.'
