Associated Press: “Paxton, who served five terms in the House and one in the Senate before becoming attorney general, is sure to still have allies in Austin.”
“A likely one is his wife, Angela, a two-term state senator who could be in the awkward position of voting on her husband’s political future. It’s unclear whether she would or should participate in the Senate trial, where the 31 members make margins tight.”
However, it gets complicated: “Paxton’s impeachment deals with an extramarital affair he acknowledged to members of his staff years earlier.”
