Billy Carter linked to Libya influence scheme and Arafat meetings
Washington editor Michael Ledeen testified under oath that Billy Carter and friends received an unreported $50,000 from Libya to travel to Tripoli. Ledeen cited Michele Papa as a Libyan agent source for the claim and said Carter met with Yasser Arafat and George Habash during a 1979 Libya trip. Carter denied meetings and payments, calling the deposition claims “a bunch of bull.”
