Ken Paxton's Divorce Trial Is Set To Begin Ahead Of General Election: Report

The divorce trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who earned the state's Republican nomination for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, is reportedly set to begin at the end of June.

Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton announced last summer that she had filed for divorce from the attorney general "on biblical grounds." In the divorce filing, she listed adultery as the reason for the divorce, The Texas Tribune reported.

The couple had been married for 38 years.

"I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation," she wrote on X. "But in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage."

The trial is reportedly set for June 24-26 in Collin County, roughly 40 miles north of Dallas.

Paxton will face Texas state Rep. James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for Senate, in the November election.
