Deliberations in Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s impeachment trial head into a second day

Deliberations in Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton 's impeachment trial were set to resume Saturday after a jury of mostly Republican senators met for about eight hours without emerging for a historic vote on whether to convict one of their party's most powerful figures on corruption charges. The ongoing talks behind closed doors fed a rare lack of assurance about how a vote might go in the Texas Capitol, where a dominant Republican majority typically means that outcomes are seldom in doubt. The trial has plunged Texas Republicans into unfamiliar waters as they confront whether Paxton should be removed over allegations that he abused his office to protect a political donor who was under FBI investigation.
