Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.), who
helped lead the charge for
impeachment with challenges of
President Clinton's truthfulness, has
become embroiled in a dispute about
his own veracity in a sworn statement.

Robert Blankenship, a former DeLay
business partner, and his attorney,
Gerald P. DeNisco, said in interviews
yesterday that it is hypocritical for the
House majority whip to attack
Clinton's integrity given what they said
were the congressman's own evasions
and misstatements in a civil deposition
five years ago.

DeLay denied under oath in a 1994
deposition for a lawsuit brought by
Blankenship that he was head of Albo
Pest Control Co. He reported to Congress at the same time that he was
chairman of the firm, according to a recent report in the New Republic.

The Hill newspaper reported yesterday that an examination of other
documents in the court case indicate that DeLay made other
misstatements about the amount of money he was receiving from the
company and also about the amount of speaking fees he collected in the
late 1980s.
