Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the AGs of 20 other states have sent a letter to the U.S. Senate, urging lawmakers to reject the impeachment of President Trump. The trial began Tuesday, with opening statements continuing on Wednesday. Paxton and the others accuse House Democrats of impeaching Trump as a politically motivated response to his 2016 election, and warn that it poses a threat to future elections and future presidents. Among the other states whose AGs signed the letter are Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina.
