The jury, consisting of Texas senators, has begun deliberations Friday morning following closing arguments in a rare Texas Senate impeachment trial for Attorney General Ken Paxton, who was suspended by the Texas House in May. After the House impeachment managers' side finished their remarks, which they returned to after Paxton's side spoke, the jury of senators began deliberations, which will be closed to the public. Paxton has denounced the impeachment proceedings, which were overwhelmingly backed by state House Republicans, as a "sham." Buzbee leveled accusations against multiple parties in his closing remarks, some of which were in no way affiliated with the trial for the 16 articles of impeachment.
