Clinton Denies DNC Got Top-Secret Brief

President Clinton said he had no reason to believe that his aides improperly passed top-secret intelligence information to Democratic Party officials. The Washington Post reported that the White House supplied classified information to the Democratic National Committee in 1995 to prevent a Latvian businessman with alleged ties to organized crime from attending a fund-raising dinner with the president. Clinton said inquiries at “the present time do not reveal any basis for believing that any sensitive information was improperly transmitted to the DNC.”
