The House lawmakers who oversaw his impeachment, according to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, intend to face criminal charges for allegedly doxxing him last week when they made his home address public.
The Daily Caller and regional media, such as the Texas Tribune, broke the news first. Invoking a new anti-doxxing statute that makes it illegal to reveal or leak personal information with the purpose of damaging individuals, Paxton allegedly aims to file criminal complaints in each of the eight counties where the House impeachment manager calls home.
Paxon’s office did not respond to a request for comment, but on Monday, he retweeted a tweet about the concerns from the Daily Caller on his X social media profile.
Paxton was found not guilty of all charges in the court of impeachment after being tried in the Senate in September. Paxton was accused of corruption and abuse of authority when he was impeached this spring.
Last Monday, House impeachment organizers made a sizable collection of documents public, claiming they had been withheld from the trial due to time restrictions and procedural issues. Before it was later redacted, the documents reportedly revealed Paxton’s home address.
In a message to the media, Paxton claimed that the impeachment managers “clearly have a desire to threaten me with harm” and mentioned that his family had received violent threats.
Additionally, emails between Nate Paul, a campaign donor who House impeachment managers claim offered Paxton house upgrades as payment, and Paxton’s contractor were made public in the documents. In the emails, Paul, a real estate developer, received updates and pictures of the work being done on Paxton’s house from Paxton’s contractor.
According to Paxton’s counsel, a six-figure wire transfer was used to pay for the modifications. That was a cover-up payment, according to House investigators, made only after Paxton’s own employees denounced him to the FBI for possible bribery.
