Paxton’s ‘Special Prosecutor’ Testifies In Impeachment Trial. Attorney Brandon Cammack says he was hired directly by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to investigate a complaint brought to the office by donor and developer Nate Paul. Cammack says he worked for about a month on the case and was prepared to file subpoenas when he began receiving cease and desist notices from higher ups in the AG’s office who allege he was hired improperly. About a month into the job, Paxton and a top deputy drove Cammack to a Starbucks and fired him without paying his $14,000 invoice. The trial continues today.
