Fictitious Donors to Clinton Reported

Federal investigators looking into donations to President Clinton’s 1996 reelection campaign suspect some of the contributions came from fictitious individuals, The New York Times said. The newspaper said checks were received from several phony corporations and, in one case, from a checking account once used by a woman who died in 1986. In one instance, Two checks were made out to “Victor ‘96,” an erroneous reference to “Victory ‘96,” an organization that was working toward reelecting Clinton and Vice President Al Gore, in handwriting that appeared to be identical, the newspaper reported.
