"Ken Paxton's Impeachment Trial Set for August Despite Trump's Efforts to Save Him"

The impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who was impeached on charges of bribery and misuse of office, will begin no later than August in the state Senate. The trial could include his wife, Sen. Angela Paxton, as a juror. The impeachment has exposed fractures within the Republican Party in Texas, which has controlled every lever of power for decades. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who has remained silent on the impeachment, has called lawmakers back for several special sessions in the coming months.
