After two days of closed door meetings, the Texas Senate has set a date and list of rules for the impeachment trial of suspended Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The trial is set to begin Sept. 5.
When the impeachment trial begins on Sept. 5, Braddock said the senate chambers will seem more like a courtroom with Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick serving as the judge.
"They will have a witness stand in there and people get up and give testimony like you would see in a courtroom," he said."Right now, Paxton is suspended. His swipe card doesn't work, and his parking space has been taken away over at the attorney general's office. He hopes to get it back," said Braddock.
After two days of closed-door meetings, rules for the impeachment trial were approved on a vote of 25-3. The three senators who voted no were Austin Senator Sarah Eckhardt, Edgewood Senator Bob Hall, and Paxton's wife Sen. Angela Paxton.
