In this week's FOX 7 Focus, Prairie View A&M constitutional law professor Eddy Carder joins FOX 7's John Krinjak to discuss the latest news surrounding Texas AG Ken Paxton's impeachment.

In this week's FOX 7 Focus, Prairie View A&M constitutional law professor Eddy Carder joins FOX 7'sSo based on what you heard there, what is the defense's strategy and how effective do you think it'll be?The strategy of the defense here is going to be, I think, somewhat different than that of the prosecution. If you read about Attorney Busbee, he has more of a reputation of being theatrical, more emotional, more sensationalistic.

And we did hear from those defense attorneys about a week after, as you mentioned, the impeachment, prosecutors laid out their case. What do you make of kind of the contrast there, Dr. Carder, between sort of the prosecution saying, look, the evidence will speak for itself. We don't even have to say too much. And the defense seems like more of a process argument, right?Absolutely. You've hit on exactly the point. Dick DeGuerin and Rusty Hardin, they are heavy hitters.

Yeah. And as all this was unfolding, we learned this week that Nate Paul was arrested and appeared in Courtney Paul, of course, Ken Paxton's friend, whose name comes up a lot in these allegations. How does this impact the case going forward?You know, it's very interesting that Nate Powell was arrested this week. And the question arises as to whether or not his being arrested under federal charges and under a federal warrant is connected to the activities of which Paxton is accused.
