Washington Attorney General Janet Reno declined to appoint a special prosecutor to probe Vice President Al Gore’s 1996 fundraising remarks. She said no prosecutable case under federal law existed, keeping the inquiry into Gore’s statements narrow to the April 18 interview and not ruling out later fund raising issues.

Republicans scrapped a nationwide TV spot attacking Al Gore and Bill Clinton for truthfulness amid backlash over the Monica Lewinsky scandal. The ad relied on a 1994 interview with Gore and accused him of inconsistency, but advisers argued it was outdated, misleading, and would breach Bush’s pledge to run a positive campaign.

Rodham Clinton backs call for hate crimes bill
Hillary Rodham Clinton joined Democrats on City Hall steps urging House passage of the Senate approved Hate Crimes Prevention Act before Congress adjourns. She argued Republicans are in a bind as George W. Bush opposes the measure and opponent Rick Lazio is portrayed as not sponsoring but supporting it. The bill would empower federal prosecutors when state authorities fail to act and extend protections to gender, sexual orientation and disability motivated crimes.
