Impeachment Investigators Look Into Texas Attorney General's Real-Estate Sp
AUSTIN, Texas—Investigators helping prosecute impeachment charges against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton have expanded their probe to examine a property-buying spree that began after he came under federal investigation for alleged abuse of his office, according to people familiar with the matter.
Paxton, his wife and a family trust spent almost $3.5 million buying six properties across the U.S. in less than 10 months from July 2021 to April 2022, real-estate records reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show. The properties are a five-bedroom luxury lodge in Oklahoma; a townhouse and two rental homes in Florida; and parcels of land in a Utah ski town and on Maui, Hawaii.
After voting to impeach Paxton late last month, Texas House members hired additional lawyers and investigators to help present a case to the state Senate.
