Ken Paxton was acquitted of 16 charges brought against him in an impeachment trial. These charges aimed to remove him from his position because of corruption allegations against him. The trial took two weeks, with one additional day for the jury to think about the case. Earlier, the Texas House of Representatives, where many politicians work, had decided to impeach him by a big vote. Paxton had become well-known for fighting against the decisions of former President Barack Obama and supporting former President Donald Trump. He was involved in lawsuits about healthcare, immigration, and the 2020 election. This made him popular among conservative groups, even though he had legal troubles in the past. However, this year, his political support started to weaken when the Texas House accused him of abusing his power and taking bribes. The House's investigation was kept mostly secret until they decided to make it public and vote. Some of Paxton's supporters said that politicians who didn't support him would face strong competition in future elections, and Donald Trump was one of the people who supported Paxton throughout the trial.
