Reno says she does not believe any further investigation would lead to evidence that would result in charges. Grassley says this is the third time Reno rejected a recommendation to investigate Gore.Grassley says by appointing a special prosecutor, Reno would have hurt Gore’s election chances.Grassley does not believe there will be a push to investigate Gore after the election. A statement from Gore’s republican rival, George Bush, says the American people are sick of investigations and scandals.
