The members of Reagan administration acted illegally to sell arms in return for freeing american hostage. The members of the Reagan administration also decided to tunnel money from this secret arms sale to aid the Contras in Nicaragua. These deals violated by interfering with Congress's role in making foreign policy. Congress held hearings to determine whether President Reagan had participated in breaking the law, but there was never any proof of his involvement.
