• Rep. Tom DeLay (search) appeared in a Texas court this morning for the first time since indictment, but arraignment on conspiracy and money laundering charges was delayed pending a hearing on his request for a new judge in the politically charged case. Megyn Kendall has the latest.
• Plus, we’ll get analysis on DeLay’s chances of getting a new judge from Paul Burka, senior executive editor of Texas Monthly magazine.
• Also, it appears federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald (search), investigating who leaked the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame, is moving away from the original charge of intentionally leaking a covert operative's name and now focusing on different charges. Carl Cameron has a report.
• Then, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his South Korean counterpart on Friday hailed a promise by North Korea to abandon its nuclear program, but stressed the need for verifiable progress. Bret Baier has the details.
• And the international community must find a way to hold Syrian authorities accountable for the death of a leading Lebanese reformer, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said today.

About the Show
Anchored by Washington news veteran Brit Hume, "Special Report with Brit Hume" provides an in-depth look at the day's news and offers a daily topical discussion of political issues impacting the nation.
Hume serves as host to key newsmakers, political pundits and FOX News contributors exchanging views about political matters from taxes and Social Security to international affairs and the political scandal of the day.
Hume brings a historical perspective to the political scene that is rarely rivaled. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., he has covered the policies, procedures and players in the national game called politics for more than 30 years. The Baltimore Sun referred to him as "the very personification of the political establishment."
Each program features a two-minute segment called The Grapevine, which reels off the latest outrageous news nuggets, political poll results and in-the-Beltway gossip that viewers will not see on any other news program. The New York Daily News describes The Grapevine as a must see that, "will make you sound smart around the water cooler… the next day."
FOX News' Team Washington provides live reports from the White House, Capitol Hill, the Supreme Court and key federal agencies. Seasoned correspondents explore political hot spots, races and legislative battles being waged around the nation and abroad.
Hume wraps up each program with a lively roundtable discussion featuring Mara Liasson of National Public Radio, Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard and Mort Kondracke of Roll Call.
And more people watch FNC's Primetime than all of the cable news competition combined!
