Texas state GOP Sen. Angela Paxton released a statement regarding the acquittal of her husband, state Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, on Monday, stating that she agreed with the upper chamber's decision.
Angela Paxton was not allowed to vote on her husband's acquittal due to a conflict of interest, but she was allowed to be present in the state chamber during the trial. The 16 articles against Ken Paxton were dismissed on Saturday after the chamber voted against conviction."I wholeheartedly affirm the Senate's decision to acquit.
The trial was centered on the attorney general's alleged legal help to real estate developer Nate Paul, who, prosecutors claimed, paid Ken Paxton back by doing expensive home renovations at the couple's residence in Austin and hiring a woman whom Ken Paxton was seeing despite being married to the state senator.
