DeLay told he's not a target of probe

WASHINGTON - In recent months, Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas, has insisted he's not a target of the Justice Department public corruption investigation involving a one-time ally, disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

He now has gone a step further, telling conservative columnist George Will in a column published Thursday that the Justice Department has informed his lawyers that he is not a target of the probe.
A federal official said the investigation is "wide open."

"It's looking at a number of subjects. And actual targets of a criminal investigation are very often not notified in advance that they are, in fact, targets," said the law enforcement official, who is familiar with the case and spoke on condition of anonymity.
