Ken Paxton Refuses to Explain Why He Cheated on His Wife
Hecklers interrupted the Senate hopeful as scrutiny grew over adultery allegations, a divorce filing and other scandals surrounding his campaign.

- Despite securing President Donald Trump's endorsement, Paxton faces internal GOP complaints regarding his campaign efforts and scrutiny of his $9 million real estate portfolio, with critics questioning his financial holdings.
