Texas Senator Pushes to Reopen Ken Paxton's Impeachment Inquiry
Texas state senator Drew Springer is calling for the impeachment inquiry against Attorney General Ken Paxton to be reopened after Paxton indicated he would not contest allegations in a whistleblower lawsuit. Springer, who initially voted for Paxton's acquittal, now questions whether Paxton and his legal team misled the Senate. The whistleblower lawsuit alleges that Paxton misused his power to help a real estate developer and unjustly terminated four former employees who reported him to the FBI. Paxton's recent decision not to contest the lawsuit is seen by Springer as an admission of guilt that should be reviewed by the legislature.
