Texas Lawmakers Call for Impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton.

A Republican-led House investigative committee in Texas unanimously recommended impeaching Attorney General Ken Paxton, who has faced years of scandal, criminal charges, and corruption accusations. If the state House of Representatives votes to impeach him, he would be forced to leave office immediately. Paxton has been under FBI investigation for years over accusations that he used his office to help a donor and was separately indicted on securities fraud charges in 2015. The move sets up a remarkably sudden downfall for one of the GOP's most prominent legal combatants, who in 2020 asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn President Biden's victory.
