The Republican attorney general was acquitted in an impeachment trial in September, after the House accused him of corruption and abuse of office.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton plans to file criminal complaints against the House lawmakers who led his impeachment, alleging they doxxed him when they released documents that included his home address last week.
The news was first reported by the Daily Caller and local outlets including the Texas Tribune. Paxton reportedly plans to file criminal complaints in each of the House impeachment manager’s eight home counties, citing a new anti-doxxing law that makes it illegal to release or leak personal information with the intent to harm them.
Paxon’s office did not return a request for comment, though he shared the Daily Caller’s tweet about the complaints on his X social media feed Monday.
Man acquitted for abuse of office plans to abuse office again. Quelle surprise.
Not a supporter but seriously? He is acquitted which means not found guilty. He was doxxed which is and should be criminal. Who is actually abusing the office?
If this was turned, would you find it acceptable to doxx a democratic. We should be better than this.
He is acquitted which means not found guilty.
Which is as much a farce now as when it happened.
“Man acquitted for abuse of office” is much punchier than “Man acquitted for abuse of office after being charged and impeached for abuse of office by his own party in THIS political climate and whose final acquittal was in contentious circumstances that had nothing to do with the law and everything to do with the politicking of the legislature”, I assumed people reading the comments would know the context of the situation.
I live in the same county, I pay property taxes. My address is public record and on the public website, is his not? Is that doxxing really?
I can’t believe people continue to vote for this turd.
There used to be this horrible evil book that doxxed everyone. You could just look up their name and get their address and phone number.
It was called a phone book and thank god we got rid of them before it was too late.
