Impeachment of Texas AG Ken Paxton: Deliberations and Unfinished Business.

The Texas Senate is set to deliberate on permanently removing Attorney General Ken Paxton from office after he was impeached by the House over accusations of abuse of office. Paxton, a conservative firebrand and ally of former President Donald Trump, has denied the accusations and called the proceedings "illegal, unethical, and profoundly unjust." The 20 articles of impeachment accuse Paxton of improperly aiding a wealthy political donor, conducting a sham investigation against whistleblowers in his office whom he fired, and covering up his wrongdoing in a separate federal securities fraud case against him, among other offenses.
