Task Force Recommends Judge?s Impeachment

By Peter Hardin

ADVERTISEMENTS

After holding investigative hearings, a House of Representatives task force has recommended impeachment of federal District Judge G. Thomas Porteous of Louisiana.

The task force voted 8-0 to recommend his impeachment, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported. 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. If the full House accepts the task force recommendations, he would face four articles of impeachment, according to the Associated Press.

You can learn more about the proceedings against Judge Porteous from earlier Gavel Grab posts.
