A Texas group that supports Ken Paxton is paying influencers to write social media posts supporting the embattled state attorney general amid his impeachment trial, Texas Monthly reports.

Russell Gold writes for Texas Monthly that he himself cashed in on the $50-per post initiative and was paid for two posts. He was specifically asked to post in favor of Paxton beating back the impeachment efforts.

Paxton was impeached earlier this year on allegations of bribery and abuse of office. If convicted in the impeachment trial that began this week, he could be removed and potentially barred from office.
