Impeachment proceedings for Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton are set for 1 p.m. Saturday in the Texas House of Representatives.
“If there’s some trouble that interferes with your job, and you’re using your job to your own advantage, or someone else’s advantage, you need to move on,” Wright said.
The Texas House Committee began investigating Paxton after taxpayers were asked to pay a $3.3 million settlement with former employees who said they were whistleblowers about bribery and other improprieties. Southern Methodist University Political Science Professor Cal Jillson said the impeachment proceedings are a test of Texas Republican loyalty.
Also from Collin County is Ken Paxton’s wife Angela, now a Texas State Senator in the seat Ken Paxton left to become Attorney General.
