WASHINGTON — 'FOX NEWS SUNDAY' HOST CHRIS WALLACE: We are joined now by our exclusive guest this Sunday, Congressman Tom DeLay (search), who had to step down this week as House majority leader after being indicted on a charge of criminal conspiracy.

Congressman, welcome.

REP. TOM DELAY, R-TEXAS: Thank you, Chris.

WALLACE: Thank you for talking with us.

DELAY: Thanks for the opportunity.

WALLACE: There's a lot of talk this week from Republicans and from the media that the DeLay era, as they call it, is over, that you will never again be, perhaps, the most powerful man on Capitol Hill.

Are you done as a major force in Congress?

DELAY: Oh, I don't think so.

This is a frivolous indictment. I am indicted just for the reason to make me step aside as majority leader. This is politics at its sleaziest, and people will recognize that and see it for what it is.

And we're just -- go through it. I think it will be over and be over very, very soon. And I think I will go back to be majority leader.
