Special prosecutors asked for postponement of the criminal trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, citing lack of compensation as reason for the delay.
“Everyone in the courtroom is being paid to be there except us. No one expected us to work for free when we accepted our appointment as special prosecutors. It’s only fair to compensate us for the hours we’ve already spent and will continue to spend to adequately prepare to try this case on behalf of the citizens of the State of Texas,” special prosecutor Brian Wice, whose team includes Kent Schaffer and Nicole DeBorde.
