WASHINGTON — Congressional investigators today interviewed Edwin P. Wilson, the convicted former CIA official, at a maximum-security prison in Illinois as part of their investigation into the Iran- contra scandal.
Bob Havel, a spokesman for the House Iran-contra committees, said congressional staffers flew to Marion, Ill., to talk to Wilson at his request. Wilson, who is serving a 52-year sentence for illegally selling weapons to Libya and plotting to kill federal prosecutors and witnesses, has claimed in recent interviews that he was a one-time business partner of retired Maj. Gen. Richard V. Secord.
