Ken Paxton blames Biden and Texas House for ‘sham impeachment’, asserts his innocence.
AUSTIN, Texas — Attorney General Ken Paxton Slams Biden Administration and Texas House in Fiery Response to Acquittal
“Today, the truth prevailed. The truth could not be buried by mudslinging politicians or their powerful benefactors. I’ve said many times: Seek the truth! And that is what was accomplished,”
Attorney General Ken Paxton, recently acquitted on all 16 counts, did not hold back in his scathing criticism of the Biden administration and the Texas House. In a statement posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, Paxton lambasted his political enemies, including those in Washington. Texas, known for its legal battles against the Biden White House, will now see Paxton take his fight against the federal government to new heights.
“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 the Attorney General, and left a dark and permanent stain on the Texas House,”
Paxton did not shy away from expressing his outrage at what he called a “sham impeachment” trial orchestrated by the Biden administration and House Speaker Dade Phelan. He condemned the weaponization of the impeachment process for settling political scores, labeling it as both immoral and corrupt. The trial, according to Paxton, not only wasted taxpayer money but also tarnished the reputation of the Texas House.
While Paxton did not provide a specific reason for why he believes he was targeted by the federal government, he did mention his indictment by the FBI during the Obama administration in 2015 on securities fraud charges, which has yet to go to trial. Throughout the proceedings, witnesses testified about Paxton’s distrust of law enforcement, particularly federal agents in the FBI.
“I can promise the Biden administration the following: Buckle up because your lawless politics will not go unchallenged. We will not allow you to shred the constitution and infringe on the rights of Texans. You will be held accountable.”
Paxton issued a stern warning to the Biden administration, vowing to challenge their “lawless politics” and protect the rights of Texans. He expressed gratitude to the Texas voters who supported him in the 2022 election and gave a special mention to his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton. Despite allegations of an extramarital affair, Paxton reiterated his love and appreciation for his wife.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who presided over the trial, criticized the House for rushing into the investigation and allowing a flawed process to occur. He called for amending the Constitution to prevent future flawed impeachments and pledged to conduct an audit of the taxpayer dollars spent on the impeachment.
Gov. Greg Abbott, who has worked closely with Paxton, celebrated the trial’s conclusion and expressed his confidence in Paxton’s ability to continue representing Texas effectively. Former President Donald Trump’s America First Legal group also congratulated Paxton on his exoneration, highlighting his relentless fight against the Biden administration’s perceived lawlessness.
With his acquittal, Paxton is ready to return to work and continue his mission to secure the border and protect Texas from federal overreach.
