Defense argues Congress knew of Contra supply network
In a trial opening, defense attorney Richard Hibey said Congress was aware of Oliver North’s Central America supply network and that George could not have hidden knowledge. Prosecution argued the CIA was flooded with information about North’s network and that George denied knowledge when questioned after a 1986 downing. Senator Kerry testified about Gomez and Rodriguez links to Bush era officials, noting potential implications if true.
