Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton, the wife of Attorney General Ken Paxton, will not be allowed to vote during his impeachment trial slated to begin on Sept. 5.
The Republican-controlled Senate approved 31 rules regarding the upcoming impeachment trial during a hearing on June 21, including that Sen. Paxton may not be allowed to participate in the trial in any way, including in closed session or deliberations, citing a conflict of interest.
