Mr. D'Amato suggested that his dislike for Mr. Weld preceded the investigation of his brother and dated from 1988, when Mr. Weld and five other officials resigned to distance themselves from Attorney General Edwin Meese III, who was under investigation.  Mr. D'Amato said that Weld was a duplicitous guy who stabbed Ed Meese in the back. Mr. Weld said that the investigations had been taking their toll on the department. Mr. Meese did not respond to messages left at his office in Washington and his home in McLean, Va.
