DeLay Aides Indicted
A Texas grand jury has indicted three aides to Representative Tom DeLay on charges including raising illegal corporate contributions and directing them to state candidates in the 2002 elections.

Hear Jake Bernstein, the executive editor of the Texas Observer, break down the indictments.
