Texas House panel recommends impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton
A Texas House committee voted Thursday afternoon to draw up articles of impeachment against embattled Attorney General Ken Paxton, Austin TV station KXAN reports. The five-member House Committee on General Investigating unanimously agreed to move forward with an effort to remove the Republican attorney general after hearing from investigators Wednesday who alleged that he had broken multiple state laws and misused taxpayer funds, according to the report. Among the felony allegations laid out by investigator Donna Cameron on Wednesday were that Paxton diverted staffers to do work benefitting a key campaign donor to the tune of $72,000 in taxpayer funds.
