What was the name of Oliver North's secretary during the Irangate scandal?

Fawn Hall (born 1959) is a former secretary to Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North and a notable figure in the Iran-Contra affair by helping him shred confidential documents.

Hall was detached from the Navy to work at the National Security Council on February 26, 1983, to work for Oliver North. She worked for North until she was fired on November 25, 1986, at the height of the scandal.

In one mishap, Hall transposed the digits of a Swiss bank account number, resulting in a contribution from the Sultan of Brunei to the Contras being credited to a Swiss businessman's bank account instead of the intended account.

In June 1987, Hall, herself, began two days of testimony in front of the United States Congress. She confessed to altering, shredding a large number of documents (so much was destroyed, she said, that the office shredder jammed), and smuggling others, in her boots and inside her clothing and giving them to North on November 25, 1986, who was fired after his role in orchestrating potentially illegal aid to the Nicaraguan Contras became public.

Among her other testimony was a claim that, "Sometimes you have to go above the law." Journalist Bob Woodward recorded that her legal defense justification was summarized in her words: 'We shred everything'. In 1989, in exchange for her testimony against North for Iran-Contra affair , she was granted immunity from prosecution.
