Texas attorney general who tried to flee abortion subpoena ordered to testify

Republican Ken Paxton allegedly escaped home and jumped into truck driven by his wife to avoid being served by subpoena

The Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton, must testify in court in an abortion lawsuit after a federal judge reversed his decision to quash a subpoena filed by pro-choice interests.

Reproductive rights groups filed a class-action lawsuit against Paxton's office in August in an attempt to stop possible prosecution of abortion funds that help women seek the procedure outside Texas, which has banned almost all abortion.
