Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) decried his impeachment by the GOP-led Texas House on Saturday as a “politically motivated sham.”
“The ugly spectacle in the Texas House today confirmed the outrageous impeachment plot against me was never meant to be fair or just,” Paxton said in a statement posted to Twitter. “It was a politically motivated sham from the beginning.”
The Texas House voted 121-23 to impeach the state attorney general after a monthslong investigation produced a variety of allegations against him, including bribery, dereliction of duty, unfitness for office and abuse of public trust.
