Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to Face Impeachment Trial as Wife Barred From Voting

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's impeachment trial is scheduled to begin September 5th, 2022.
Paxton is accused of abuse of power and accepting bribes, and faces other charges.
Paxton's wife, State Senator Angela Paxton, is barred from voting in the trial due to a conflict of interest.
A two-thirds vote is needed in the Texas Senate to convict Paxton and remove him from office.
The trial will be led by two prominent attorneys and overseen by the state's Lt. Governor, who has financial ties to Paxton.
