Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton put the Biden Administration on notice shortly after returning to work Saturday. The Texas Senate voted not guilty on all 16 articles of impeachment filed against the pro-Trump attorney general, which were hastily voted on by the Texas House of Representatives after a brief hearing that did not include any cross examination or debate over evidence.
Paxton — who comfortably defeated George Prescott Bush in a GOP primary runoff last year — penned a letter to President Biden warning him to “buckle up” almost immediately after he returned to work on Saturday. Paxton had been out of commission since the Texas House voted to impeach earlier this summer, as Texas law requires an impeached lawmaker to step down pending the outcome of a trial in the Senate.
“The sham impeachment coordinated by the Biden Administration with liberal House Speaker Dade Phelan and his kangaroo court has cost taxpayers millions of dollars, disrupted the work of the Office of Attorney General, and left a dark and permanent stain on the Texas House,” Paxton wrote.
“The weaponization of the impeachment process to settle political differences is not only wrong, it is immoral and corrupt,” Paxton’s letter continued.
