WASHINGTON — The U.S. House has scheduled a vote for this morning on the impeachment of a Texas federal judge in prison for lying about sexual assaults of two women.
The House filed paperwork Wednesday to set up the vote on four articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge Samuel Kent. Kent entered the Devens Federal Medical Center in Massachusetts on Monday to begin serving a 33-month sentence.
He pleaded guilty last month to lying to judicial investigators about the sexual attacks. But he has refused to resign.
House approval of the impeachment articles would send the case to the Senate for a trial.
