Weinberger had given them to the library of congress with the requirement that no one could read them without his personal consent. Throughout Iran-Contra investigations Weinberger had repeatedly testified to Congress and the Tower Commission that he had argued against the arms-for-hostages scheme when it was discussed by White House officials. Walsh did not make Weinberger s involvement an issue in the 1992 indictment. Instead he zeroed in on Weinberger s testimony under oath that he had not kept notes or a personal diary during the arms sale period. The discovery of the notes in the Library of Congress suggested that Weinberger had presented false testimony. On June 19 1992 Weinberger pleaded not guilty to all five felony charges. Judge Thomas F. Hogan set a tentative trial date of November 2 1992 one day before the presidential election. This timing raised the question of whether Weinberger s trial would cause political embarrassment for President George H. W. Bush who was campaigning against bill clinton. Four days before the election Walsh announced a new indictment against Weinberger. It centered on a note that had been written by Weinberger about a 1986 White House meeting and that seemed to contradict Bush s claim that as vice president he had not been involved in the arms-for-hostages decision making.

Attorney General william p. barr denied the request.

The pardon cited Weinberger s record of public and military service his recent ill health and a desire to put Iran-Contra to rest. Bush also pardoned former assistant secretary of state Elliot Abrams former CIA officials Clair George .
