Justice Department officials sent Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Zipperstein to Los Angeles to either block the start of the trial or prevent exposure of information relating to the Inslaw affair. Zipperstein was put in charge of the Justice Department “investigation” into the death of Danny Casolaro, whose death was linked to Inslaw. Zipperstein was also the Justice Department official who intercepted Paul Wilcher when Wilcher sought to deliver his one-hundred-page declaration to Attorney General Janet Reno. Wilcher was found dead shortly after giving his information to Zipperstein.
