Republican Texas AG Ken Paxton is acquitted of corruption charges at historic impeachment trial

Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was fully acquitted Saturday of corruption charges following a historic impeachment trial, a resounding verdict that reaffirms the power of the GOP's hard right and puts an indicted incumbent who remains under FBI investigation back into office.

The outcome demonstrated Paxton’s enduring durability in America’s biggest red state after years of criminal charges and scandal. It also delivered a signature victory for the Texas GOP’s ascendent conservative wing following a dramatic trial that put on display the fractures among Republicans nationally heading into 2024.

More than three months after an overwhelming impeachment in the Texas House, which is controlled by Republicans, Paxton was just as convincingly acquitted by Senate Republicans who serve alongside his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton

Angela Paxton was not allowed to vote but attended all of the trial, including one dramatic moment when a woman was called to publicly testify about an affair she had with her husband, only to never actually take the witness stand. In end, all but two Senate Republicans voted to acquit Ken Paxton on each of the 16 impeachment articles that accused him of misconduct, bribery and corruption.


Ken Paxton did not attend the verdict but triumphantly declared victory afterward.

“Today, the truth prevailed. The truth could not be buried by mudslinging politicians or their powerful benefactors,” Paxton said. "I’ve said many times: Seek the truth! And that is what was accomplished.”
