House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) has been subpoenaed by a Democrat in his home state over his interference in a battle over a redistricting map.
DeLay admitted ordering his staff to call the Federal Aviation Administration to track down a plane thought be carrying state Democrats. He also ordered staff to see if the Justice Department could intervene against the Democrats.
DeLay was rebuked by a House ethic panel for his actions. He was the architect of the Texas map in hopes of ensuring the Republican Party's majority in the House.
