Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has appointed a second interim attorney general ahead of Republican Ken Paxton’s historic impeachment on allegations of misconduct and crimes, the governor’s office announced Monday.

Angela Colmenero will step in as the state’s top lawyer on an interim basis starting Friday while Mr. Paxton awaits a trial in the state Senate that could result in his permanent removal, the office said.
