Day 1 of suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton’s Impeachment trial took place Tuesday, beginning with hours of formal court work, pre-trial motions, a formal plea, and a vote from Senators inside the Chambers.
Three months after being suspended from his duties as the state’s top prosecutor, the Texas Senate will begin what could be a weeks-long hearing to decide whether Paxton will be permanently removed from office.
The impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton began Tuesday with the embattled Republican facing accusations of corruption and bribery that have shadowed him for years.
