Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will face an impeachment trial on corruption allegations surrounding his relationship with real estate developer Nate Paul.
Texas Republican Attorney Generalis bracing for his impeachment trial set to begin Tuesday, historically brought by state senators of his own political party.
But the impeachment trial centers around Paxton’s relationship with Austin real estate developer Nate Paul. Paxton, who has decried the trial as a"political motivated sham," and an effort to disenfranchise his voters, won a third term in 2022 despite long-pending state criminal charges and an FBI investigation.
Two other senators play a role in the allegations against Paxton. A two-thirds majority — or 21 senators — is required for conviction, meaning that if all 12 Senate Democrats vote against Paxton, they still need at least nine of the 19 Republicans to join them.
