Texas Attorney General's Office in Turmoil Following Impeachment of Ken Paxton.
TL;DR Summary
Following the impeachment of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, his first assistant attorney general, Brent Webster, has temporarily taken over the position. Webster faces his own legal troubles, including a professional misconduct case and allegations of firing whistleblowers who reported Paxton's behavior. As the state's top lawyer, Webster is in charge of a sprawling agency that serves as both the state's law firm and a legal juggernaut helping to advance the Republican Party's priorities in the courts. It is unclear how long Webster will remain in the position.
