Republicans in the state voted strongly to impeach fellow party member over corruption allegations earlier this year
The Paxton controversy has highlighted divisions within the Republican Party in Texas. In advance of the Senate trial, conservative activists have bought up TV airtime and paid for advertising billboards to encourage senators to acquit Mr Paxton, who has been a strong backer of former president. Mr Paxton addressed the crowd at the former president’s rally in Washington on January 6th, 2021, that preceded the attack on the Capitol building by supporters of Mr Trump.
Mr Paxton has been suspended from his duties as attorney general since the House of Representatives in Texas voted to impeach him on 20 articles including bribery and abuse of public trust. He has denied any wrongdoing and maintained that the impeachment process is politically motivated. Four of the former staff members later sued the attorney general’s office, claiming they had been sacked in violation of the state’s whistleblower law.
