Tom DeLay Is Going Broke?

Legal Bills Eat Into Tom DeLay's Campaign Cash

The costs of legal defense relating to investigations and indictments are draining Tom DeLay of money he raised for his cancelled re-election campaign, RAW STORY has learned.

A report in today's Roll Call indicated that the former Texas Congressman and House Republican Majority Leader has spent $1.7 million on legal fees, leaving him with only $641,000 in his campaign reserves. DeLay's legal team is currently drawn from nine different law firms.


Well, that's interesting. I'm curious about the "money he raised" part though. Is it actually his own money or is most of it donations? I'd hate to think that he's using others' contributions to save his ass.
