Political Bias and Controversy Surround Ken Paxton's Impeachment Trial

Prosecutors in the impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton blame politics for the failure to secure a conviction, expressing disappointment in Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's speech criticizing the House's handling of the matter and questioning his impartiality. The prosecutors also discussed the ruling that blocked testimony from a prosecution witness and expressed their belief that Paxton misused his power. Despite their efforts, Paxton was acquitted, with the lawyers attributing the outcome to politics rather than principle.
