Reagan aides face probe over Iran Contra deception
Assistant attorney general testified that senior officials drafted false testimony to mislead Congress as Iran Contra unravelled in 1985. Lt. Col. Oliver North rewrote CIA chief William Casey’s testimony, heightening the cover up, while John Poindexter and Casey raised no objections. President Reagan expressed complete surprise upon learning details, and Meese ordered an immediate inquiry.
