Ken Paxton has been under FBI investigation for years over accusations that he used his office to help a donor and was separately indicted on securities fraud charges in 2015.
Investigators with the House General Investigating Committee made bombshell accusations against Texas State Attorney General Ken Paxton.Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton teetered on the brink of impeachment Thursday after years of scandal, criminal charges and corruption accusations that the state's Republican majority had largely met with silence until now.
When the five-member committee's investigation came to light Tuesday, Paxton suggested it was a political attack by the House's "liberal" Republican speaker, Dade Phelan. He called for Phelan's resignation and accused him of being drunk during a marathon session last Friday. Phelan's office has brushed off the accusation as Paxton attempting to "save face."
It's unclear how many supporters Paxton may have in the House. Since the prospect of impeachment suddenly emerged Wednesday, none of Texas's other top Republicans have voiced support for Paxton. Even with Monday's end of the regular session approaching, state law allows the House to keep working on impeachment proceedings. It also could call itself back into session later. The Senate has the same options.
