Justice Department opened a preliminary criminal inquiry to decide if a special prosecutor is needed regarding Commerce Secretary Ron Brown. Attorney General Janet Reno cited credible allegations of possible federal felonies and Congressional questions over undisclosed financial actions and a potential tax issue connected to Brown's business associates. The FDIC is separately examining a $23 million loan default by Corridor Broadcasting Corp. tied to Brown partner Noranda Hill. Brown's lawyer called it routine and expected no law violations or need for an independent prosecutor. White House spokesperson McCurry affirmed the attorney general acted as required.
