Ken Paxton Impeached and Suspended by Texas House of Representatives.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been impeached by the state's House of Representatives over allegations of bribery and abuse of office. The vote to adopt the 20 articles of impeachment was 121-23. The move temporarily removes a controversial but influential Republican figure in Texas and nationally. Attention next shifts to the Texas Senate, which will conduct a trial with senators acting as jurors and designated House members presenting their case as impeachment managers. Permanently removing Paxton from office and barring him from holding future elected office in Texas would require the support of two-thirds of senators.
