Decision loomsHouston Chronicle by Jeremy Wallace
Looks like we have hit the homestretch of the Ken Paxton impeachment trial, at least according to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick who is acting as the judge in the case before the Texas Senate.
Patrick told members of the Texas Senate today they will not take any days off from here on out until they reach a final decision on whether Paxton, currently the suspended attorney general, will become the first statewide elected official impeached in Texas since 1917.
“From this moment forward, no off days until the trial, the deliberations and the decision is given,” Patrick, a Houston Republican, said.
Each side has about 14 hours remaining to question witnesses. That clock will likely run out by Thursday morning, Patrick said, and then both sides will have an hour for rebuttal and another hour for closing remarks.
