...faces attention from a different quarter. The Justice Department's task force on campaign finance has stepped up its probe into $50,000 he gave the Democratic party in 1996, after allegedly arranging for a Chinese arms dealer to come to a White House fund-raising coffee. The rub for Green is that he told Senate investigators who were trying to determine if he had been illegally reimbursed by fund-raiser Charlie Trie that he'd never received funds from Trie, who had introduced Green to the Chinese official...
