TL;DR Summary

The impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who has been accused 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 proceedings, has called lawmakers back to work for several special sessions in the coming months.
