The Texas Senate will vote on 16 articles of impeachment against Ken Paxton starting at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, the lieutenant governor's office said in a statement.

The suspended Republican attorney general is accused of constitutional bribery, abuse of official capacity, misuse of official information, and retaliation against former employees.

Texas House investigators accused Paxton of illegal acts in order to try and protect Nate Paul, an Austin real estate investor, when he was being investigated by the FBI.
