“In a history-making late-afternoon vote, a divided Texas House chose Saturday to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton, temporarily removing him from office over allegations of misconduct that included bribery and abuse of office,” the Texas Tribune reports.
“The vote to adopt the 20 articles of impeachment was 121-23.”
“Attention next shifts to the Texas Senate, which will conduct a trial with senators acting as jurors and designated House members presenting their case as impeachment managers.”
Washington Post: “The move against Paxton was engineered by his fellow Republicans, who have long controlled all three branches of state government.”
