The Impeachment of Ken Paxton: Conflicts, Suspensions, and Political Intrigue.
TL;DR Summary
The impeachment of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has moved to the state Senate, where a two-thirds majority is required to remove him from office. The Senate plans to consider impeachment rules on June 20 and start the trial by Aug. 28. Potential conflicts of interest abound, including the fact that Paxton's wife is a senator and a colleague is implicated in the allegations against him. The Senate is also tasked with setting rules for the trial, which could be key to the outcome.
