Fox News
John Scott, a longtime ally of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott who oversaw Texas' elections in 2022, has been named the temporary attorney general of Texas.
Paxton was impeached last weekend by the Texas House of Representatives, triggering his immediate suspension from office.
Abbott has kept silent about Paxton in the week since House Republicans began impeachment proceedings. The governor announced Scott's appointment in a statement that did not mention Paxton or comment on the accusations against him.
