Texas AG Ken Paxton acquitted on all 16 corruption charges during impeachment trial: ‘The truth prevailed’

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was acquitted by the state Senate during his historic impeachment trial Saturday.

The case was turned over to the 30 top lawmakers in the state Friday to deliberate on 16 articles of impeachment related to allegations of abuses of power heard during the sensational two-week trial in Austin.

Paxton received overwhelming support from his GOP colleagues in the state Senate.

All but two of the chamber’s 18 Republicans voted to acquit him on all 16 counts.

“Today, the truth prevailed,” Paxton said in a statement after the vote, which he was not present for.
