Ellis, Colyandro Deny Cooperation With Earle

Tom DeLay (R-Texas) have denied rumors that they are cooperating with Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle in his investigation of the former House Majority Leader, spurring further questions about the source of “additional information” that Earle claimed he had received against DeLay last weekend. On Monday, Earle convinced a Texas grand jury to issue felony indictments against DeLay for money laundering and conspiring to violate Texas’ ban on using corporate campaign donations in state legislative races.
