"Texas Senator Urges Reopening of Ken Paxton Impeachment Trial"
TL;DR
Republican state senator Drew Springer, who previously voted to acquit Attorney General Ken Paxton in his impeachment trial, has called for the Texas Senate to consider reopening the proceedings following Paxton's decision not to contest the whistleblower lawsuit. Springer expressed concern that Paxton's actions could undermine the Senate's credibility and criticized Paxton for potentially burdening taxpayers with a settlement. Despite Paxton's recent reversal, he still faces a deposition in the lawsuit, and Springer's letter comes as he is freer from political consequences due to not seeking reelection.
