Reno gets recommendation for Gore special counsel
Updated 12:20 PM ET July 13, 2000
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Attorney General Janet Reno said Thursday
she has received a recommendation to name a special counsel to
investigate Vice President Al Gore over the truthfulness of
comments he made about his 1996 fund-raising activities.
Reno said she had been given earlier this week the recommendation
from Justice Department prosecutor Robert Conrad that a special
counsel should investigate answers Gore, the presumptive
Democratic presidential nominee, gave in an April interview with
Conrad.
Reno said she would like to resolve the issue "as soon as
possible," but added that she would be hearing from other Justice
Department lawyers.
"I want to consider anything that anybody wants to present, so
I'm awaiting ... the recommendation of others, as well," she
told her weekly news briefing.
Conrad's preliminary recommendation was disclosed last month,
posing new problems for Gore, who has struggled to get his
presidential campaign on track before the November election. He
has trailed Republican rival George W. Bush in public opinion
polls.
Seeking to defuse the controversy, Gore last month released a
transcript of the April interview in which he denied taking part
in an illegal fund-raising event at a Buddhist temple in
California four years ago.
Justice Department officials doubted Reno would go along with
Conrad's recommendation.
Reno twice before has refused to name an outside independent
counsel to investigate Gore's activities during the 1996
re-election effort of President Clinton and his vice president.
Now that Reno has Conrad's formal recommendation, one official
said he did not expect Reno to make a decision until after she
returned Tuesday from a trip to Europe.
