Michael Gibson, a VA accountant from Illinois, was passed over for promotion amid a discrimination finding by the EEOC, which also ordered back pay and promotion.

Probe ends into Clinton campaign manager
Justice Department says no credible evidence that Clinton campaign manager Peter Knight received an illegal million dollar payment linked to Franklin Haney. Atty. Gen. Janet Reno ends the probe, no independent counsel, while Haney faces 42 counts for alleged illegal donations. Republicans demand fuller explanation. Knight ran Clinton's 1996 re election bid and received the funds before his role.
