Texas Sen. Angela Paxton to Participate in Husband's Impeachment Trial

Texas state Senator Angela Paxton, wife of impeached Attorney General Ken Paxton, has said she will "carry out my duties" ahead of her husband's impeachment trial, but did not confirm whether she will recuse herself from voting on his removal from office. The looming trial in the Senate is set to begin no later than August, and state law compels all senators to attend, but is silent on whether she must participate. Ken Paxton is temporarily suspended from office pending the outcome of the trial.
