| Description | Former Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said today that he's headed to jail not because he is guilty of any wrongdoing, but because of the politicization of his trial.
"I was tried in the most liberal county in the state of Texas; indeed, in the United States," DeLay said on NBC's "Today" Show. "This is a political campaign."
On Monday, DeLay was sentenced to three years in prison after a jury found him guilty of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering. The charges relate to an alleged plot to illegally funnel corporate money to Texas candidates in 2002. |
