TL;DR Summary

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's legal defense team for his impeachment trial includes high-profile lawyers, but it is unclear who is paying for their services. Paxton has about $2.3 million in his campaign coffers, which he could use to pay for his defense, but legal and government ethics experts say that may not inspire public confidence. Paxton has previously used taxpayer dollars to cover his legal defense and could also accept donations to a legal defense fund. The public would not learn of the names of the donors until mid-July.
