In his first extensive interview since his defeat by a Trump-backed challenger, the Texas Republican said the Senate was in for a “bumpy ride” as he and others flex new political freedom.
“There’s never going to be good enough for him, other than 100 percent, you know, slavish adherence to whatever he wants,” Senator John Cornyn said of President Trump. “But obviously that’s not what the senator’s role is supposed to be.”
The lawyer, Dan Cogdell, helped save Mr. Paxton from criminal charges and an impeachment, but now he says the Texas attorney general has “lost sight of his mission.”
