Texas Attorney General Ken Paxtonhas been ordered by a federal judge to testify in a high-profile abortion case just a week after he fled his home to avoid receiving a subpoena for the lawsuit.
The Dallas Morning News reports that US District Judge Robert Pitman ordered Mr Paxton to testify on Tuesday. He's asking the attorney general's office to explain how it plans to enforce the state's wide-ranging abortion ban that threatens violators with prison time and hundreds of thousands in fines.
