Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton impeached on charges of bribery and misuse of office
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been impeached by the state House of Representatives on charges of bribery and misuse of office. Paxton is only the third sitting official in Texas' nearly 200-year history to be impeached. The Senate will now try Paxton on the 20 articles of impeachment lodged against him, with the trial set to begin no later than August. If two-thirds of the 31 senators find him guilty, he will be removed from office.
