Texas state Senator Angela Paxton on Wednesday was barred from voting on the verdict in her Picasso-faced husband Attorney General Ken Paxton’s upcoming impeachment trial over charges including his securing a no-show job for a woman he was having an affair with, the AP reports.
Angela Paxton’s removal from the vote was among the rules set ahead of the trial, scheduled to begin on September 5th, leaving 30 senators, 18 Republicans and 12 Democrats, as the jury. A two-thirds majority will be required to remove Paxton from office after testimony is heard.
