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.

    I mean I am the first one to say that no one should be doxxed, but in every case you can ask the judge to conceal specific information out of public filings if it’s either more prejudicial than probative, or if it’s deemed too high of a risk to cause issues.

    TLDR he could have redacted through court process. This sounds to me like a complaint that DOA.
