Attorney General Reno announced no independent counsel, citing legal limits and a careful review of the facts. She defended the decision as correct and courageous, while noting ongoing campaign finance task force work on Democratic fund raising and the O'Leary matter. Clinton praised the decision, Gore urged moving beyond the issue, and critics argued the ruling narrows FBI scope.
