Staff members for Margaret Thatcher, Britain's former prime minister, have been questioned in a probe of Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.), who is charged with criminal conspiracy regarding corporate political donations, her office said.
"An approach was made to her office to clarify certain points regarding a meeting with Congressman DeLay," said her spokesman, Mark Worthington.
Thatcher, 79, met DeLay in May 2000, the period in which the alleged conspiracy occurred. "He was paying a courtesy call as the Republican leader in Congress," Worthington said. Police have not spoken to Thatcher, he said, and to suggest she was being investigated is "a nonsense story."
