Impeached Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s actual impeachment trial begins Tuesday in the Texas Senate, the first of many days to determine if the suspended official will be removed from office.

Paxton, facing 16 impeachment counts related to bribery and misuse of office, has been suspended since late May, when the Texas House voted overwhelmingly to advance the case to the Senate. He is just the third official in Texas history to get impeached.
