    The Tom DeLay Legal Defense Fund is a trust established to pay legal fees and related expenses for the proceedings in Austin, Texas.  Upon retiring from Congress, former Majority Leader Tom DeLay closed his previous defense fund, which adhered to specific laws and provisions governing Members of Congress, and established a new fund for private citizens.  His decision to maintain a Defense Fund is due to the overwhelming response by friends and supporters who want to stand with him in his legal battles, particularly the criminalization of politics.
