Three Texas Congressmen Received Money From DeLay Aide Who Pled

AP is reporting that at least three members of the Texas Congressional delegation were recipients of political contributions from former Tom DeLay deputy chief of staff Tony Rudd, who pled guilty to conspiring with convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff earlier today.
Rudy contributed $3,000 to DeLay, $1,000 to Rep. John Carter (R-Round Rock), and $500 to Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Flower Mound). Carter has already “given back” the donation by making an equivelant charitable contribution while AP notes Burgess has plans to do the same.
