Texas grand jury indicts DeLay again
Former House majority leader charged with money laundering, conspiracy
AUSTIN, Texas - A Texas grand jury on Monday re-indicted Rep. Tom DeLay on charges of conspiring to launder money and money laundering after the former majority leader attacked last week’s indictment on technical grounds.
The new indictment, handed up by a grand jury seated Monday, contained two counts. The money laundering charge carries a penalty of up to life in prison. The charge of conspiracy to launder money is punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
Last week, DeLay was charged with conspiracy to violate campaign-finance laws, forcing him to leave his leadership position.
