Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in an interview published Friday suggested the allegations that fueled Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s (R) impeachment inquiry — which ultimately failed — were “just the tip of the iceberg.”

Speaking to The New York Times, Cornyn placed emphasis on the importance of character as he vies for reelection next year in the Senate GOP primary against Paxton.

“I’m willing to bet my career and my future and this job on my belief that character does matter still,” Cornyn said, suggesting Paxton believed instead “that he can get away with a whole litany of misbehavior and corruption that should disqualify him from the job.”

Paxton was acquitted in the Texas state........
