On day four of the Ken Paxton impeachment trial, a former Texas Ranger, now in the Hall of Fame, was questioned about his investigative duties while at the attorney general’s office.

Paxton is facing 16 articles of impeachment.

"To jump back way back in time which one of the first times I met you, Mr. DeGuerin famously walked into the Branch Davidian compound during the seize in 1993," Paxton’s defense attorney Dan Cogdell said.Maxwell, Paxton’s former director of law enforcement, said on the witness stand that Attorney General Ken Paxton wanted him to do something he couldn’t and wouldn’t, and it ended up costing him his career.

Maxwell said Paxton wanted him to meet with Austin developer and political donor, Nate Paul. Maxwell said Paul’s ‘conspiracy theory’ was that a group of federal and state law enforcement officers, including a senior magistrate judge, altered a search warrant for his property. Maxwell said he met with him several times, and at one point, in a meeting with Paxton, it got heated.
