Babbitt and Burton clash over casino decision hearing
In Washington the dispute over Interior Secretary Babbitt's 1995 denial of a Hudson Wisconsin casino drew sharp partisan accusations. Burton urged independent counsel while Reno weighs steps. Babbitt denied White House influence, acknowledged misstatements to a lobbyist, and rejected claims of political motivation. Separately prosecutors signal possible indictment of the Hsi Lai Temple donor-linked Gore fundraiser case.
