Delay's world grows darker

KTRE-TV - Lufkin/Nacogdoches, TX - Abramoff DeLay:

"WASHINGTON Prosecutors have e-mails showing Congressman Tom DeLay's office knew lobbyist Jack Abramoff (AY'-bruh-mahf) arranged financing for a controversial European golf trip in 2000.

Delay reported to Congress that a Republican advocacy group had paid for the trip that DeLay, his wife and top aides took to Scotland and England.

E-mails obtained by The Associated Press show DeLay's staff asked Abramoff -- not the advocacy group -- to account for the costs that had to be legally disclosed on congressional travel forms. The e-mails state DeLay's office was worried that the group being cited as paying the costs might not even know about them."
