House Investigates Charges That Rep. Waters, Reno Squashed Drug Probe
The House Government Reform Committee concluded hearings Thursday into whether Attorney General Janet Reno called off an investigation into the alleged drug-dealing activities of a prominent rap promoter and did so under pressure from a leading Democratic House member.
James Prince, founder of Rap-A-Lot records, was the lead target of a 1999 probe into drug activities that netted nearly 20 convictions, including one for murder. But the Drug Enforcement Agency official leading the probe, Jack Schumacher, testified Wednesday that he was told by Houston field office commander Ernest Howard in September 1999 that the investigation was being shut down under "political pressure."
