Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton faces an impeachment trial in the state Senate on articles overwhelmingly approved by the House of Representatives. Paxton is a Republican and star of the conservatives legal movement. He was suspended from office in May when the GOP-controlled House voted 121-23 to impeach him on 20 articles ranging from bribery to abuse of public trust. Most of the articles deal with Paxton using his office in ways that benefited a wealthy donor and businessmen. Paxton has denied wrongdoing and said he expects to be acquitted. The trial is scheduled to begin Tuesday.
