The Indictment of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay -- September 28, 2005

Online NewsHour: The Indictment of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay -- September 28, 2005: "The combative House majority leader is certainly one of Gwen Ifill the Capitol's most powerful lawmakers. Today, he was forced to step aside from his leadership role after a three-year state investigation into Texas campaign fundraising yielded another in a series of indictments; this one of Mr. Delay himself. He's charged with participating in a criminal conspiracy to illegally steer corporate money to state legislative candidates in 2002.

For more on the impact of today's indictment, and what happens next, we turn to: Laylan Copelin of the Austin American-Statesman. He's been following the Delay investigation since it began; and longtime Congress watcher Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute."
