MAGA Senate candidate's messy divorce takes an unexpected turn: report
I was really looking forward to this trial. Hopefully, Angela Paxton took this asshole to cleaners to get a settlement without a trial. I suspect that Angela's divorce attorneys asked for a great deal and Ken Paxton evidently gave in.

A GOP Senate candidate's divorce took a recent, unexpected turn as he squares off for a critical midterm race.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's divorce trial with his wife, Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton, was canceled by a state district judge, according to reporting by The Hill.
In a statement to The Hill, Ken Paxton's attorneys explained, "the parties have made substantial progress towards an amicable resolution of all issues and remain engaged in productive discussions," adding that each side "jointly agreed that a trial setting is no longer necessary."
Ken Paxton is the Trump-endorsed candidate who beat Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and will face off against state Rep. James Talarico in November.
Angela Paxton announced the divorce last year in a social media post, saying the split is happening for "biblical" reasons. Meanwhile, Ken Paxton said last year that he and his wife "decided to start a new chapter in our lives."
The divorce has provided fodder for Democrats against his character. Collin County Judge Lindsey Wynne canceled the divorce trial on the heels of Ken Paxton's resounding victory against Cornyn.
