Democrats say DNC officials knew of illegal donations
Democratic donor Johnny Chung told Justice Department investigators that top DNC officials knowingly solicited and accepted improper contributions. He alleges then finance director Richard Sullivan asked for a 125000 donation in April 1995 and continued to take the money despite doubts it came from a Chinese conduit. Sullivan denies Chung’s account as the probe shifts to determine if DNC officials or Clinton Gore operatives will face charges.

GOP fights to keep papers from finance investigation
The U S Court of Appeals granted the Republican National Committee an initial victory in a fight to withhold 95 pages of documents sought by federal prosecutors probing illegal campaign fundraising. The panel said Judge Norma Holloway Johnson erred in dismissing the RNC claim of attorney client privilege and ordered a re examination of the records. The probe centers on a 1.6 million loan to the party from Haley Barbour before the 1994 elections.
