Paxton was acquitted of 16 articles of impeachment for bribery, corruption, and being unfit for office.
After about eight hours of deliberations and an official vote, Texas state senators have reached a verdict in the impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
During deliberations, Senate jurors heard from some of Paxton’s former top aides who reported him to the FBI. The whistleblowers outlined their concerns about Paxton’s relationship with and efforts to protect Austin real estate developer Nate Paul. Paul was indicted on federal charges that he made false statements to banks.
In closing statements, Republican state Rep. Andrew Murr, who helped lead the impeachment, made a final plea to convict Paxton.
