FULL: Texas AG holds press conference amid state House committee recommending his impeachment
During the nearly 10 minutes long conference, Paxton referred to the actions as a "deceitful impeachment attempt".Texas lawmakers issue 20 articles of impeachment against state Attorney General Ken PaxtonBy proceeding with this illegal impeachment scheme to overturn a decision made by Texas voters just a few short months ago, the corrupt politicians in the Texas House are demonstrating that blind loyalty to Speaker Dade Phelan is more important than upholding their oath of office.
For this crucial work to continue, the political theater must come to an end. I'm grateful for the outpouring of support I've received from so many Texans who understand this process is unjust and unethical. The fact that I was prohibited from presenting evidence to defend myself reveals that this shameful process was curated from the start as an act of political retribution. This vote is expected to take place Saturday at 1 p.m.
