Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is expected to be back at work Monday after his impeachment trial ended in an acquittal.
The trial may be over, but there will be lingering effects in Austin.Paxton said he’ll have more to say about his acquittal this week when he sits down for an online interview with right-wing host Tucker Carlson.
After being acquitted on all articles of impeachment brought against him in an historic trial, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said it was a "sham impeachment coordinated by the Biden Administration" in a statement. But only two Republican state senators joined Democrats to vote for any of the 16 articles of impeachment.
"It definitely made a difference it would seem in retrospect whether you were gonna face the voters sooner rather than later," said James Henson, the director of the Texas Politics Project. "It’s definitely that fact that those who were more willing to vote for some of the counts against the AG on the Republican side were people that were not gonna be on the ballot in 2024."
