Guess the anonymous source
I just saw this AP report at Yahoo News. I'm betting the anonymous source came from inside the White House. This seems to me to be a clear attempt to distance Bushco from DeLay. Of course, it doesn't do DeLay any good at all, but they've all dumped him by now.
WASHINGTON - Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay tried to pressure the Bush administration into shutting down an Indian-owned casino that lobbyist Jack Abramoff wanted closed -- shortly after a tribal client of Abramoff's donated to a DeLay political action committee, The Associated Press has learned. The Texas Republican demanded closure of the casino, owned by the Alabama-Coushatta tribe of Texas, in a Dec. 11, 2001 letter to then-Attorney General John Ashcroft. The Associated Press obtained the letter from a source who did not want to be identified because of an ongoing federal investigation of Abramoff and members of Congress.
