On the recordMay 27, 1993
Well, to the best of our ability to determine it, there has never been a policy that if the White House had a local internal matter, they had to go through the Attorney General to get to the FBI. The FBI's always been an independent investigative agency. But I have no problem with doing that, because I trust her. I think she's got great judgment. But the report in the auditor's findings made us believe that someone at least ought to look into this and clear the air. And that's all we were trying to do. Ms. Zahn. Was Attorney General Reno justified in questioning the process?
