Texas Panel Files Articles of Impeachment Against State Attorney General
"A Republican-led committee of the Texas House of Representatives recommended on Thursday that the state’s attorney general, Ken Paxton, be impeached for a range of abuses of his office that the committee’s investigators said may have been crimes.
The recommendation thrust the State Capitol and its Republican leadership into uncharted political territory in the waning days of the legislative session, setting the stage for the House to hold a vote on impeachment, its first in decades and one of the few ever conducted in the state’s history.
If he is impeached, Mr. Paxton, a Republican who has been under a separate criminal indictment since 2015, would be required to step down from his post temporarily while he faces trial in the State Senate."
