...access to his papers and computer records (which have been turned over to Independent Counsel Walsh). In the view of the Poindexter camp, the White House again used him as a political sacrifice in mid-March. Rather than claim Executive privilege, Reagan's aides permitted a House committee to subpoena Poindexter to a hearing on computer-security policy.

...Northrop said it had given him $450,000 in bribes for Saudi generals. Khashoggi denied the allegations that he had asked for bribe money, but the accusations did not endear him to the Saudi ruling family. In 1976 and '77 the Securities and Exchange Commission attempted several times to subpoena Khashoggi as part of its investigation into arms companies. Khashoggi stayed away from the U.S. for nearly two years, but later came back to give a voluntary deposition...
