Former President Donald Trump and other prominent conservatives took to social media to defend Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton even as the Republican-led Texas House voted to impeach him.

Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan and fellow Republicans joined with Democrats to temporarily remove Paxton, a staunch GOP conservative, from office on accusations of bribery, obstruction of justice, and abuse of public trust.
