Potential Trump gag order - Hollywood strike's limits - Russell Brand allegations

Source: Associated Press

1. Summary
   Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton returned to office on Sunday after being acquitted of 16 impeachment charges by the state's Senate. Paxton was accused of abusing the power of his office to cover up an extramarital affair, with former advisors testifying that Paxton pressured them to help a political donor under FBI investigation.
   
   As the GOP dominates both legislative chambers, Paxton's impeachment is seen as part of a struggle between moderate, establishment Republicans and more conservative members. Paxton, who often backs the party's most conservative policy issues, has called his House impeachment a sham dominated by liberals. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who presided over the trial, is calling for new limits on the impeachment process.
   
   Paxton's alleged mistress did not testify despite it being highly anticipated. A Democratic state senator said that the Senate's eight-hour deliberations were sincere, but when it became clear there were not enough votes to convict Paxton, some senators changed their minds.
