AUSTIN (KXAN/Nexstar) — The impeachment trial for suspended Attorney General Ken Paxton is officially underway, beginning Tuesday morning despite Paxton's requests to dismiss all articles of impeachment. As presiding officer of the trial, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick functioned as a judge by kicking off the trial with procedural moves taking up the majority of the morning.

Four million borrowers are already enrolled in this new student debt relief program

Instead, it drives down monthly repayments based on a borrower’s income, and provides a pathway to eventual loan forgiveness for those with low student debt balances.“We’re highly confident that this plan is legally authorized...
