House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight
Abstract
The House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight investigated then-Attorney General Janet Reno's refusal to comply with a subpoena calling for her to appoint an independent counsel for the 1996 campaign finance scandal investigation. The report reviewed both the reasoning behind Reno's refusal to comply alongside the merit of recommendations made by the chief investigator and lead attorney in the investigation. In the end, the Committee rejected all of Reno's objections to the subpoena and determined that her cooperation was necessary for the Committee's investigation and was consistent with Congress' constitutional oversight rule.
