Copyrighted Image? DMCA | A defiant Gov. Rick Perry vowed on Saturday to fight an indictment charging him with abuse of power, calling it a "farce" and a "political" prosecution. In his first appearance since a grand jury indicted him Friday on two felony counts of trying to pressure the district attorney here, a Democrat, to step down by threatening to veto state funding for her office, Mr. Perry said, "I wholeheartedly and unequivocally stand behind my veto." He added, "We don't settle political differences with indictments in this country." |
