The Texas Senate on Tuesday rejected all of Attorney General Ken Paxton’s efforts to dismiss the articles of impeachment against him, moving forward with the first removal proceeding against a statewide elected official in more than a century.
The pretrial motions required a majority vote. The most support a motion to dismiss received was 10 out of 30 senators.
FBI has been investigating him since 2020 with a real estate developer allegedly doing shady shit with Paxton. The real estate developer is under indictment. Federal grand jury heard testimony against Paxton last month. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/08/10/ken-paxton-grand-jury/
