AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was acquitted Saturday of all charges at a historic impeachment trial that divided Republicans over whether to remove a powerful defender of former President Donald Trump after years of scandal and criminal charges. The verdict reaffirmed Paxton's durability in America's biggest red state and is a broader victory for Texas' hard right after an extraordinary trial that put on display fractures within the GOP nationally heading into the 2024 elections.
