Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton said she was elected to uphold the laws of the state constitution when the Texas Senate meets for the impeachment trial of her husband, Attorney General Ken Paxton.

The senator said in a statement on June 19 that she will do her duty in the historic impeachment trial of her husband, but she did not specify whether she plans to recuse herself on a vote to remove the attorney general from office.
