JANET RENO DENIES DOJ COVER-UP OF CHINAGATE

By Marvin Lee

Attorney General Janet Reno last week denied that her Justice
Department is engaged in a cover-up of the Chinagate scandal
involving President Clinton and the Democratic Party.

Reno said that the DOJ was preventing Chinagate witnesses from
testifying before Congress for investigative reasons and not in a
effort to obstruct a Congressional inquiry.

Yet when asked whether she would comply with a subpoena from
Chairman Burton for documents related to Chinagate she demurred:
"There are matters relating to pending investigations and pending
prosecutions in which if we provide information and if it's made
public can have a dramatic impact on the pending investigation,"
she said.

Chairman Dan Burton and Chairman Fred Thompson of the House and
Senate Committees investigating Chinagate have both expressed
their belief that the Department of Justice is engaged in an
active effort to obstruct such inquiries.

Columnist Robert Novak recently obtained an internal DOJ document
that listed long-dormant investigations of potential Chinagate
witnesses as "ongoing," precluding their cooperation with
Congress.
