Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) was indicted Friday by a grand jury in Austin for threatening to veto funding for the state's public integrity unit.
A complaint was filed last year claiming that Perry abused his official powers by threatening to veto $7.5 million for public corruption prosecutors in the state.
On Friday, a grand jury indicted Perry on two felony counts – coercion of public official and abuse of official capacity, according to The Associated Press.
