Summary:

The Campaign Finance Task Force was established by Attorney General Janet Reno to investigate allegations of illegal fundraising during the 1996 presidential election. Following its creation, the Task Force faced several management challenges and operational problems. Notably, the working relationship between the Justice Department and the FBI was strained and hampered by mutual concerns of trust, with DOJ attorneys and FBI investigators disagreeing over which investigative approach to take. To get the investigation on track, in the fall of 1997, DOJ and the FBI changed the Task Force's leadership, streamlined the Task Force's oversight structure, and committed additional staff and information management resources. The Task Force has launched 121 investigations as of the end of 1999. It has begun 24 prosecutions, and 15 persons and one corporation have been convicted as of March 2000. Through fiscal year 1999, DOJ and the FBI estimated that they have spent $31.2 million on the Task Force.
