"Impeachment Deliberations Commence for Texas AG Ken Paxton"
TL;DR
Texas senators have begun deliberations in the impeachment trial of Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is facing allegations of bribery and abuse of office. The trial has divided the Republican Party, with supporters of Paxton portraying it as a plot by moderate Republicans to undermine the conservative wing. The prosecution argued that Paxton took actions to benefit a real estate investor and donor, Nate Paul, in exchange for tangible benefits. A two-thirds vote to convict on any of the 16 articles of impeachment would immediately remove Paxton from office.
