DeLay to Attend Hearing on Removing Trial Judge
U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay will return to court in Austin on Tuesday for a hearing on whether the judge assigned to handle his trial should be removed.
Dick DeGuerin, DeLay’s attorney, said the Texas Republican would attend the hearing because “he wants to be involved in every facet” of the case.
DeLay stepped aside as the No. 2 GOP leader in the House after he was indicted Sept. 28 on conspiracy charges arising from an investigation into campaign fundraising. He was indicted again five days later on money-laundering charges.
