TL;DR Summary

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, has been impeached by the Republican-controlled Legislature on charges of breaking the law, abusing his office, accepting bribes, and obstructing justice. He is only the third official to ever be impeached in Texas history and will soon face trial in the state Senate. If two-thirds of the state Senate votes to convict him on even one of the charges, he will be removed permanently. Paxton's trial will be the first impeachment trial in decades and has already gathered national attention as former President Donald Trump and his allies rally behind him.
