TL;DR Summary

The Republican-led House is set to vote on the impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton, who has been under investigation since March for alleged misconduct. If impeached, Paxton will be suspended from his duties and the Senate will act as a jury during the trial. The Senate needs two-thirds of votes in favor to remove a candidate from office. Paxton has been accused of bribery, accepting a bribe from donor Nate Paul, and having an extramarital affair. He has called the impeachment efforts against him "illegitimate" and "corrupt."
