Texas lawmaker says she will ‘carry out’ duties in husband’s impeachment trial

Angela Paxton did not say whether or not she will recuse herself on vote to remove state attorney general Ken Paxton from office

Texas state lawmaker Angela Paxton said Monday she will “carry out my duties” ahead of the historic impeachment trial of her husband, Republican state attorney general Ken Paxton, but did not outright say whether or not she would recuse herself on a vote to remove him from office.

Breaking weeks of public silence since her husband was impeached in May, Angela Paxton did not address the accusations in a statement released by her office.
