As a result of the investigations in Congress the information that was obtained was made available to the special prosecutor, and the convictions that were subsequently obtained by the special prosecutor against particularly Oliver North and a few other of the defendants were subsequently nullified because of the fact that the special prosecutor had gained access to that information through the means of the congressional inquiry.
Suite aux enquêtes menées au Congrès, des renseignements ont été communiqués au procureur spécial et les condamnations que celui-ci a par la suite obtenues contre, en particulier, Oliver North et certains des autres défendants ont été annulées parce qu'il avait eu accès aux renseignements par le biais de l'enquête du Congrès.
