That could change as early as today as prosecutors prepare to give the jury statements DeLay made to investigators in 2005, indicating he knew of a $190,000 money swap before it occurred.
DeLay said he is not concerned about the statements because he misspoke at the time and can prove he did not know about the money exchange until after it happened.
