Immunity push for Poindexter delays public testimony
Congressional lawyers moved to propose limited immunity for Rear Adm. John Poindexter with a 90 day postponement of his public testimony in the Iran arms Contras affair. He would testify privately in 45 to 60 days and not in public for about 90 days. Walsh seeks the delay to build a prosecutorial case while North and Secord face possible immunity later. ABC will not discipline Barbara Walters for sharing information with the White House from a key Iran arms figure.
