Reagan Testimony At Poindexter Trial Focuses On Privilege
The deposition may be completed and the edited videotape shown at Poindexter's trial where he faces conspiracy obstruction and false statements charges with up to 25 years in prison and $1.25 million in fines. Reagan invokes executive privilege over 33 diary entries and Greene reviews the issue. Reagan would be asked about knowledge of NSC staff North and Iran arms sales to the Contras, and whether he approved responses to Congress. Poindexter endorsed letters denying North’s Contras funding or arms role. McFarlane later pled guilty to withholding information. Carter and Ford deposition references appear in context of other cases.
