Texas Republican state Sen. Angela Paxton, wife of embattled Attorney General Ken Paxton, will not recuse herself from her husband's impeachment trial connected to allegations of bribery and misappropriating funds.

Kex Paxton's impeachment trial stems from whistleblower accusations of misconduct in an investigation into a friend and political donor of the attorney general. Ken Paxton was impeached in the Texas House in late May over accusations of bribery, obstruction of justice, and misappropriation of public resources.Now the trial heads to the Senate, where Angela Paxton serves as one of 19 Republicans.

"Each time I was elected, I took an oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of this great state, and Texas law compels each member of the Senate to attend when the Senate meets as a court of impeachment," Angela Paxton said."As a member of the Senate, I hold these obligations sacred and I will carry out my duties, not because it's easy, but because the Constitution demands it and because my constituents deserve it.

Paxton had taken such personal interest in the case that it began to set off alarm bells among the high-ranking deputies, according to the whistleblowers. In a September meeting with the FBI, they accused their boss of engaging in obstruction of justice, abusing his office, harassment, and taking bribes from Paul.
