During President Bill Clinton's 1996 campaign for re-election,
several individuals allegedly worked on behalf of the Chinese government
to influence the presidential election in favor of Clinton.
"Chinagate" began when the Los Angeles Times reported, a couple months before the '96 election, the following:
"The Democratic National Committee has returned a $250,000 contribution from a recently established subsidiary of a South Korean electronics company because it violated a ban on donations from foreign nationals in U.S. elections, a party spokesman said Friday. ...
"David Eichenbaum, DNC communications director ... said that the DNC fund-raiser who was responsible for the contribution was under the impression, erroneously as it turned out, that it fulfilled the legal qualifications. He said it was unclear whether the fund-raiser was misled or there had been a misunderstanding."
