Reagan role denied in contras case involvement alleged
In federal court Carl Channell pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the government in funding the contras, naming North and others as conspirators. White House spokesman Fitzwater said Reagan had no part in the conspiracy, though Channell described meetings at the White House in 1985 and 1986 with supporters of Channel 1's tax exempt foundation. North's interviews and actions involving delay of FBI interviews and investigations related to Southern Air Transport are noted, with implications for hostage negotiations and a private contra network.
