WASHINGTON — Assistant Secretary of State Elliott Abrams testified today before the special federal grand jury investigating the sale of U.S. arms to Iran and the diversion of profits to Nicaraguan rebels.
Abrams, who came under criticism last year for misleading the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence about U.S. solicitations for foreign donations to the Contras, appeared at the grand jury with his private attorney, W. DeVier Pierson. Neither Abrams nor his attorney would comment on the grand jury appearance.
