Though Paxton is cleared of all charges and back at work, Republicans aren't done attacking each other.
Newly acquitted of impeachment charges, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is back on the job and getting back to the usual.
At the same time, the verdict is inflaming rifts within the GOP surrounding his impeachment in the first place. On the other side are Republicans in the Texas House, where Paxton was overwhelmingly impeached and suspended from office in May. Its members bristled at Saturday's verdict and the criticism leveled by the lieutenant governor.
Paxton was endorsed in that race by Trump, who reaffirmed his support in the waning days of the trial and applauded the verdict."The Ken Paxton Victory is sooo BIG. WOW!!!" Trump posted on Truth Social, his social media platform. The woman ultimately never took the witness stand, but her relationship with Ken Paxton was central to a case accusing him of going to potentially criminal lengths to help a local real estate developer named Nate Paul, who was under FBI investigation at the time.
