Reno testimony clouded by Davidians suit over Waco siege
Lawyers for Branch Davidians say Attorney General Janet Reno denied approving FBI tank use at Mount Carmel and disputed intentional demolition during the 1993 Waco siege. They recount Reno’s deposition as stating she did not authorize pyrotechnic tear gas or building demolition and that on scene commanders must consult with FBI leadership before accelerating plans. The suit, seeking wrongful-death damages for David Koresh followers, heads to trial in mid May. deposition materials will be released in 30 days.
