Late in the Reagan Administration, it was discovered a political military group in Nicaragua called the Contras were fighting a guerrilla war against what seemed to be a communist regime. In secret the US was supplying arms to the Contras based on monies received from Iran. It was called the Iran-Contra scandal. A key figure in this illegal operation, a Major Oliver North took full blame for this misadventure. By doing so, the Reagan White House escaped blame.
