But I am pleased that she is now moving forward.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Senator Don Nickles, Republican Oklahoma\u003cbr/\u003eThe U.S. Justice Department notified the White House about the review of Clinton's involvement in campaign money-raising irregularities on Friday.\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking earlier in the week, the Attorney General said she was not bowing to pressure.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"As I have said it is very important that I conduct this investigation and made the decisions based on the evidence and the law and not on pressure and I am gong to continue to do that.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Janet Reno, US Attorney General\u003cbr/\u003eA similar initial review is already under way in the case of Vice President Al Gore.\u003cbr/\u003eReno's action came one day after word that Gore had hired two defence attorneys to try to prevent the appointment of a special prosecutor. \u003cbr/\u003eIn March, Gore acknowledged he had made phone calls to 48 Democratic donors from his White House office between November 1995 and May 1996. \u003cbr/\u003eFederal law prohibits federal officials from making fund-raising appeals on government property, although experts disagree whether that law applies to calls made to donors outside the building.\u003cbr/\u003eA pollster for the Clinton-Gore campaign of 1996, Doug Schoen, said the news had only affected the popularity of the Vice President slightly.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"My view is that there certainly has been some slippage.  I mean you take three weeks pounding from the media - you are going to slip. But close to 50 per cent of Democrats surveyed by the Wall Street Journals said that Al Gore is still their first choice to be the Democratic nominee - he is beating both Jack Kemp and Governor George Bush of Texas by four to six points.  60 per cent say he has the honesty and integrity to be president - so I think the Vice President, based on a twenty year record of accomplishment is holding up extremely well.\" \u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Doug Schoen, Pollster Clinton/Gore '96 Campaign\u003cbr/\u003eAnd Gore's former Chief of Staff, Roy Neel, added that the Vice President did not break any laws.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"Let's put this into context. This is a partisan fire storm directed at taking the Vice President down a couple of notches.
