"Chaos and Testimony: Highlights and Resting of Case in Ken Paxton's Impeachment Trial"

TL;DR Summary
The House impeachment managers have rested their case against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton after a chaotic day in the trial. The prosecution's attempt to call a crucial witness, Laura Olson, who allegedly had an affair with Paxton, was abandoned, and the defense sought a dismissal of the articles of impeachment. The prosecution also faced challenges in proving allegations that a friend and donor of Paxton paid to renovate his home. The trial will continue with the defense's witnesses, and the House has proposed a rule change to automatically disqualify Paxton from holding state office if convicted.
