Poindexter says he’s been made a political football

He plans to testify under immunity in hearings by House and Senate committees with independent counsel Walsh. He is expected to claim he acted under presidential direction and may be asked about missing Tower Commission notes and a May 1986 memo on diverting arms payments.
