Texas Governor James Richard “Rick” Perry was indicted by a state grand jury today on two felony counts: Count 1- Abuse of Official Capacity and Count 2- Coercion of Public Servant.
In a press release from the Democratic Party of Texas:
Austin, TX - Rick Perry was just indicted on two counts of abuse of official capacity and coercion. Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa released the following statement:
“Governor Rick Perry has brought dishonor to his office, his family and the state of Texas. Texans deserve to have leaders that stand up for what is right and work to help families across Texas. The indictment today shows a failure of Governor Perry to follow the law. This is systematic of a broader problem: Ken Paxton is facing a possible indictment and Attorney General Abbott has refused to rule on whether Governor Perry can use taxpayer dollars to cover his legal expenses. We call on Governor Perry to immediately step down from office. Texans deserve real leadership and this is unbecoming of our Governor.”
