Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was impeached by the Texas House on Saturday in a 121-23 vote and will be temporarily removed from office as the Senate trial proceeds. The impeachment of the attorney general is the first of its kind in Texas.
In a historic move on Saturday, the Texas House voted to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton, who has been accused by his fellow Republicans of abuse of office.
One hundred and fortynine House members voted 121-23 to impeach Paxton after hours of debate and speeches from supporters and opponents of the action. Two members were present but not voting while three were absent.
