Chris Redfield is a character in Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan), a survival horror video game series created by the Japanese company Capcom. He was introduced as one of the two playable characters of the original Resident Evil, which was released on March 22, 1996, appearing with his partner Jill Valentine as members of the Raccoon Police Department's Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) unit. Chris and Jill fight against the Umbrella Corporation, which creates zombies and other bio-organic weapons through bioterrorism. Later, the pair become founding members of the United Nations' Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA). Chris is the protagonist in several Resident Evil games, novels, and films, and has also appeared in other game franchises. In later games, his features were based on New Zealand model Geordie Dandy. Critics have been polarized in their discussions of Chris, and several publications consider him one of the sexiest video game characters. (Full article...).

We conducted that investigation and kept the office of the acting Attorney General apprised of the progress of our work. After that investigation, if we had confidence that the President clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. We did not, however, make a determination as to whether the President did commit a crime.
