Reagan denies knowledge of memo in Iran-Contra hearings
President Reagan said there was no smoking gun and that he never saw an April 1986 memo about diverting arms profits to the Contras. White House aide Howard Baker backed that Reagan did not receive or know of the document while lawmakers urged impeachment if proven. The president framed questions as hearsay and shifted focus to the budget and deficits.
