The members of Reagan administration acted illegally to sell arms so they could free American hostage, the members of Reagan administration also decided to get money from this secret arms sale to aid the Contras in Nicaragua. Congress held hearings to determine whether president Reagan had participated in the whole breaking the law thing, but there was no proof that he got involved apparently.

So, like, the people in Reagan's administration were all sneaky and stuff because they sold arms to free hostages and also gave money to the Contras. And then Congress was all like, "Wait, did Reagan know about this?" But they couldn't prove he did anything wrong. It was all super shady and secretive, like something out of a spy movie or something.
