Wilcher was interviewed by Carl Stern, Reno's public relations man, regarding the contents of the letter. | 1938-07-21 | 2016-11-07 | Miami, Florida |
Janet Reno served as the United States Attorney General of the United States. She is included here in connection with the death of Paul Wilcher, a Washington D.C. attorney who had been investigating the October Surprise incident and the INSLAW case. Wilcher hand-delivered a 100-page letter to Reno on May 21, 1993, claiming that holdover Department of Justice employees from the Ronald Reagan-George H.W. Bush era were responsible for government cover-ups.1
Wilcher was interviewed by Carl Stern, Reno's public relations man, regarding the contents of the letter. After Wilcher's death, Sarah McClendon and Garby Leon wrote letters to Reno, urging her to investigate Wilcher's death due to its disturbing parallels with Danny Casolaro's death and the implications for individual investigation and criticism of government activities.1
Bill Hamilton also mentioned that a Department of Justice report commissioned by Janet Reno confirmed that a system called PROMIS was being used by Canada agencies, but claimed it was totally different from INSLAW's PROMIS software.1
