Questions Raised Over Tom Delay’s Trip to Russia

HeadlineApr 06, 2005

House Majority Leader Tom Delay is in the news again. Both the New York Times and Washington Post have front-page exposes that could lead to new ethics investigations. The Washington Post reports that Delay took a six-day trip to Moscow in 1997 that may have been secretly funded by Russian businesses with ties to the Russian government. Officially the trip was paid for by a mysterious company registered in the Bahamas. House rules bar lawmakers from taking trips paid for by foreign agents.
