"Key Moments in Ken Paxton Impeachment Trial"

The impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton concluded with contrasting closing arguments from the prosecution and defense. The House impeachment managers argued that they had proven bribery and corruption charges against Paxton, accusing him of betraying the people of Texas and abusing his power. Paxton's defense team claimed that the case was full of holes and framed him as the victim of a "witch hunt" orchestrated by political opponents. The trial centered on Paxton's relationship with a real estate investor and political donor, Nate Paul. The case is now in the hands of the senators, who will decide whether to convict Paxton on any of the 16 articles of impeachment.
