Ken Paxton’s Impeachment Trial Could Finish This Week

Austin American Statesman: “The trial resumes at 9 a.m. Monday in the Texas Senate chamber, where, to this point, public turnout has been sparse for the state’s first impeachment trial of a statewide officeholder in more than 100 years. Based on the time remaining to present evidence for each side, it is possible the case could be turned over to the senator-jurors to deliberate by the end of the week.”

“The question before the 30 lawmakers — 18 Republicans and 12 Democrats — is whether Paxton abused his position as the state’s top lawyer in 2020 to provide favorable legal services to a campaign donor, Nate Paul.”
