Janet Reno, First Woman to Be U.S. Attorney General, Dead at 78
Janet Reno, the first woman to serve as U.S. attorney general and the epicenter of several political storms during the Clinton administration, has died. She was 78.
Reno died early Monday from complications of Parkinson's disease, her goddaughter Gabrielle D'Alemberte told The Associated Press. A niece of Reno's, Daphne Webb, later confirmed her death the NBC News. Webb said Reno spent her final days at home in Miami surrounded by family and friends.
Reno, a former Miami prosecutor who famously told reporters "I don't do spin," served nearly eight years as attorney general under President Bill Clinton, the longest stint in a century.
