The impeachment trial of Attorney General Ken Paxton cost Texas taxpayers $4.3 million, according to records released by the House Business Office on Thursday.

This is $1 million more than the proposed $3.3. million settlement reached earlier this year between the Office of the Attorney General and fired staffers who sued for wrongful termination. Their claims became the basis for the impeachment allegations levied against Paxton.

In September, after the Texas Senate rejected all 20 articles of impeachment exonerating Paxton, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick issued a blistering rebuke of the House Managers. He also called for an audit of all state legislative impeachment-related expenses and sent an official request to the state auditor to issue a report.

The 228 pages of invoices released to the public were from the legal firms of Rusty Hardin, Dick DeGuerin, and Harriet O’Neill who were hired by the House Managers to prosecute Paxton.
