Earlier this year, Mr. Paxton came to the legislature seeking $3.3 million in taxpayer money to settle a whistleblower lawsuit. Mr. Paxson would not answer any questions about the underlying claims. He had successfully blocked any discovery in the case for almost two years, and he refused to justify the settlement. The House investigated the serious allegations raised by the whistleblowers.
The House uncovered egregious misconduct and abuse of office by the Attorney General of the State of Texas and voted overwhelmingly to prefer articles of impeachment to the Senate. This is why we are here. The allegations in the articles reveal that the state's top lawyer engaged in conduct designed to advance the economic interests and legal positions of a friend and donor to the detriment of innocent Texans.
