NYT: Prosecutors Seek More of DeLay's Records (Blunt)

[usregimechange]

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 - Texas prosecutors in the criminal case against
Representative Tom DeLay issued a subpoena on Wednesday for records
of transactions between his national political action committee and
a political committee run by his successor as House majority leader,
Roy Blunt of Missouri.

The subpoena, issued in Austin, the Texas capital, asked for all
records from Mr. DeLay's committee, Americans for a Republican
Majority, about its contributions from 2000 to 2002 to Mr. Blunt's
committee, Rely on Your Own Beliefs Fund, and to the state
Republican Party in Missouri, where Mr. Blunt's son is governor.

The subpoena offered no explanation of why prosecutors wanted the
records, although news reports have recently questioned why
thousands of dollars raised by Mr. DeLay and his committee to
entertain delegates at the 2000 Republican convention were shifted
to Mr. Blunt's committee.

Mr. Blunt's committee made a $10,000 contribution at about the same
time to a charity controlled by Mr. DeLay.
