the officials sent funds to the contras.

Answer 2

There were several instances of law-breaking during President Reagan's second term, most notably in the Iran-Contra Affair. Members of the administration, including National Security Council staff, secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran in exchange for the release of hostages, and used the proceeds from these arms sales to fund anti-Sandinista rebels in Nicaragua, which went against US foreign policy and violated the Boland Amendment. Several officials were convicted, though some convictions were later overturned or pardoned.
