Former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is hoping to turn his legal woes in Texas into cash for his campaign.

DeLay is using his congressional campaign to distribute to derogatory information about the Texas prosecutor who led the investigation that resulted in indictments against DeLay charging conspiracy and money laundering.

Delay is also soliciting donations for his re-election.

"Help Tom fight back," reads one of the solicitations on the www.TomDelay.com Web site.

Those who sign up can get regular e-mails from DeLay's campaign.

Along with disparaging information his legal team has dug up on Travis County prosecutor Ronnie Earle.

Legal experts say DeLay's use of congressional campaign donations to attack Earle likely was permitted under campaign law, but it could lead to legal questions about whether he is trying to influence potential jurors for his trial.
