A Texas House committee is recommending impeachment for Attorney General Ken Paxton. The House General Investigating Committee unanimously adopted articles of impeachment against Paxton on Thursday, one day after testimony accusing him of abusing his office for the benefit of a donor. An attorney in Paxton's office claimed to reporters shortly before the recommendation that the A-G cannot be removed for acts he may have committed before his most recent election, which was last November. The impeachment will now be considered by the full Texas House, and would go to a trial in the State Senate if approved.
