"Ken Paxton Cleared of Wrongdoing: Approval of Report Raises Questions"

New documents reveal that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have personally approved a report produced by his agency that cleared him of allegations of wrongdoing, which is at the center of his impeachment trial. The documents include emails between Paxton's top aide and another staff member, indicating Paxton's involvement in the report's findings. The report, released in August 2021, was unsigned but the emails suggest that Paxton personally vetted and approved it. Paxton is facing potential removal from office if convicted in his impeachment trial, set to begin on September 5.
