House Panel Votes Impeachment Articles

By Peter Hardin

ADVERTISEMENTS

A federal judge from Louisiana, G. Thomas Porteous Jr., is moving closer to impeachment proceedings by the full House of Representatives. The House Judiciary Committee voted this week to adopt four articles of impeachment against him, according to the Associated Press. If the House votes for his impeachment and the Senate convicts him, Judge Porteous would be only the eighth federal judge to be impeached, and convicted.

The judge, who has been suspended from the bench, stands accused of accepting cash improperly and of lying during his confirmation proceedings before the Senate. Read more about him in Gavel Grab.
