Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has used $2.4 million from his campaign funds to cover legal fees linked to his recent impeachment trial, a campaign finance report reveals. Paxton faced impeachment on abuse-of-office charges in May and was acquitted in September, and the report’s disclosure sheds light on the financial aspects of his defense. The use of campaign funds for his legal expenses has ignited a political debate in Texas, despite Paxton’s assertion that no taxpayer dollars were used for his defense.
