TL;DR Summary

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been suspended from office after a Republican-controlled Texas House committee filed 20 articles of impeachment against him, ranging from bribery to abuse of public trust. The allegations include attempts to interfere in foreclosure lawsuits, improperly issuing legal opinions to benefit a real estate developer, and firing, harassing, and interfering with whistleblowers on Paxton’s staff. Paxton has denied the charges, calling them based on "hearsay and gossip, parroting long-disproven claims."
