Trump ally accused of abuse of office in historic proceedings in state’s House of Representatives
In a message on his social media channel Truth Social ahead of the vote, Mr Trump, who is seeking re-election next year, vowed to “fight” Texas House Republicans if Mr Paxton was to be impeached.
“Attorney general Paxton continuously and blatantly violated laws, rules, policies and procedures,” Representative David Spiller said ahead of the vote. "There is not word, not one sentence in the testimony before you that would be admissible in any Texas court of law," Smithee said."It is hearsay within hearsay within hearsay."Mr Paxton has staked out a position on the far right on divisive cultural issues. He has sued the Biden administration nearly 50 times attempting to halt what has he labeled as “unlawful tyrannical policies” on issues including immigration, gun rights and business regulation.
Mr Paxton easily won re-election last year after fending off a Republican primary challenge from George P. Bush, a scion of two former presidents.
