Meeting briefly in a Houston courtroom with a new judge in the case, defense lawyers and prosecutors agreed Thursday to meet again Oct. 6 to deal with pending motions and set a trial date for the 2015 charges alleging that Paxton violated state securities laws in private business deals earlier in the decade.
At some point it has to come to an end, special prosecutor Brian Wice told reporters afterward. I think today was the first step in a journey of a thousand miles to make sure that justice ultimately comes to be.
Paxton attended the short pretrial setting before state District Judge Andrea Beall. He sat in the front row but did not speak.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton acquitted on all 16 articles of impeachment
Source: Texas Tribune
The Texas Senate on Saturday acquitted Attorney General Ken Paxton of 16 articles of impeachment alleging corruption and bribery, his most artful escape in a career spent courting controversy and skirting consequences of scandal.
No article received more than 14 of the required 21 votes to convict. Only two of 19 Republican Senators, Bob Nichols of Jacksonville and Kelly Hancock of North Richland Hills, voted in favor of convicting for any article a stark contrast to the nearly 70% of House Republicans who impeached the attorney general in May.
The dramatic votes capped a two-week trial where a parade of witnesses, including former senior officials under Paxton, testified that the attorney general had repeatedly abused his office by helping his friend, struggling Austin real estate investor Nate Paul, investigate and harass his enemies, delay foreclosure sales of his properties and obtain confidential records on the police investigating him. In return, House impeachment managers said Paul paid to renovate Paxtons Austin home and helped him carry out and cover up an extramarital affair with a former Senate aide.
In the end, senators were unpersuaded.

The Texas Senate members will vote on articles of impeachment at 10:30

The closing arguments were fun. Buzbee was a complete asshole and basically relied on insulting witnesses. The House managers did a great closing with clips of testimony used very effectively.
There will be no decision tonight

Jack Smith appears to have won most of the contested issues in the Mar-a-Lago case
The Protective Order may have taken a while because two of TFG's key claims are rejected in this protective order. TFG claims that he owns the documents but in the Protective Order, TFG had to agree that these documents are the property of the United States. TFG has also claimed that the documents were de-classified but in the Protective Order TFG agrees that these documents are classified and confidential.
