Key Vote: Impeaching Judge G. Thomas Porteous, Jr. for high crimes and misdemeanors

Impeaching Judge G. Thomas Porteous, Jr. for high crimes and misdemeanors
- Vote Passed (423-0, 7 Not Voting)

The House impeached Judge G. Thomas Porteous, Jr. of Louisiana with four charges: that he accepted gifts in exchange for official actions, falsified and withheld information during a bankruptcy proceeding, made false statements as part of his Senate confirmation and received money from lawyers involved in a case that he oversaw. Unless the judge resigns, the Senate will hold a trial. A conviction on any of the four counts would remove Judge Porteous from office.

Rep. Ander Crenshaw voted YES......send e-mail
