"AUSTIN, TEXAS - Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, appeared in court for the first time Friday to
answer the money-laundering and conspiracy charges against him ... DeLay's staff disclosed that he flew to Houston on
Thursday morning on a corporate jet owned by R.J. Reynolds, a longtime contributor that has flown him to Puerto Rico
and other destinations; they said the jet was "used in compliance with regulations."
The company, which has also given $17,000 to DeLay's legal defense fund, did not comment Friday."
