Angela Paxton Cites Adultery in Divorce Filing

News summary

Texas State Senator Angela Paxton has filed for divorce from Attorney General Ken Paxton after 38 years of marriage, explicitly citing adultery among her reasons. The filing comes as Ken Paxton campaigns to unseat incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the Republican primary, intensifying scrutiny of his past scandals and raising concerns about his electability among some party officials. The 2023 impeachment trial of Ken Paxton, where he was acquitted, included allegations of an extramarital affair, and Angela Paxton's court filing directly references adultery. Both released statements about the impact of public and political pressures on their marriage, with Angela noting her faith and attempts at reconciliation. The National Republican Senatorial Committee voiced support for Angela, while Cornyn and his campaign declined detailed comment, calling the matter private. This development adds further uncertainty to the already contentious primary as Paxton remains a high-profile, controversial figure.
