Deavers Friend Tied to Nicaragua Banana Imports
Representative Douglas Applegate condemned a sixfold rise in Nicaragua banana imports in the first six months of the year. He accused White House aide Michael Deaver of possible conflicts of interest, noting a close friend of Deaver and Deaver’s brother, Bill Deaver, controlled the Nicaraguan banana market through importer Jack Pandol. Bill Deaver denied involvement and said the brothers had only long-standing friendships with Pandol.
