AP:
"Prosecutors said DeLay conspired with two associates, John
Colyandro and Jim Ellis, to use his Texas-based PAC to send
$190,000 in corporate money to an arm of the Washington-based
Republican National Committee, or RNC. The RNC then sent the
same amount to seven Texas House candidates. Under Texas law,
corporate money can't go directly to political campaigns."
