Walker denies rewriting of Chicago police report in DNC violence
Atty Gen Ramsey Clark and Daniel Walker deny the report on street violence during the Democratic National Convention was rewritten under Clark's direction.

Clark says only text related to the pending investigation was altered. Campbell questions motive and timing of the report’s release and considers grand jury inquiry.
