Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton will not be allowed to cast a vote in the impeachment trial of her husband, Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton.
In Texas, the leader of the senate is the lieutenant governor, making the job one of the most powerful in any U.S. statehouse. Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has declined to comment on the impeachment charges but has pledged fair and transparent proceedings.But Patrick, who will serve as the trial’s presiding officer, carries into the proceedings financial entanglements with the accused.
The impeachment charges also allude to a senator, Republican Bryan Hughes. Paxton is accused of using him to request a legal opinion that would protect Paul from losing properties in foreclosure. Another impeachment concerns Paxton’s extramarital affair with a woman who was employed by Paul and has also worked for Republican Sen. Donna Campbell.
