BREAKING: The Texas House votes 121-23 to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton. Paxton is suspended from office until the result of a trial in the senate. READ MORE:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton urged his supporters to protest at the state Capitol when Republicans in the House of Representatives take up historic impeachment proceedings that threaten to oust him.
Saturday, the committee presented their evidence for about an hour, then House members debated for hours. A simple majority vote in the House was all that was necessary to impeach Paxton, meaning only about a dozen of the more than 80 Republicans need to join Democrats. It ended up being a vote of 121-23.Senators will act as jurors and decide whether to remove Paxton from office. AG Paxton's team says impeachment would violate Texas law, but committee says it doesn't apply here
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s team claims impeaching him based on the allegations of the proposed $3.3 million whistleblower settlement with former employees would violate state law. The Texas House has only previously impeached a sitting official twice: a state judge in 1975 and Governor "Pa" Ferguson in 1917.
