Oliver North and Fawn Hall Marry in Secret Ceremony

Oliver North, the former Marine Lieutenant Colonel, and his former secretary Fawn Hall recently tied the knot in a private ceremony last month, 40 years after their prominent involvement in the Iran-Contra scandal.

A marriage license obtained by journalist Michael Isikoff indicates that North, 81, and Hall, 65, were married in Arlington County, Virginia, on August 27. An insider revealed that the wedding was kept under wraps.

Hall, who gained notoriety for her role in smuggling Iran-Contra documents out of the White House, reportedly reconnected with North last December at the funeral of her late wife of 56 years. Since then, they began spending time together again.

North’s political history includes being part of President Ronald Reagan’s National Security Council during the late 1980s, where he faced accusations of facilitating illegal arms sales to Iran. These operations aimed to release American hostages in Lebanon and diverted funds to support Contra rebels in Nicaragua, violating the Boland Amendment.

Hall served as North’s secretary at the NSC and later cooperated with investigators, providing details on her destruction of evidence and smuggling documents. She recounted hiding Iran-Contra papers in her boots and skirt during North’s dismissal in 1986.

In 1989, North was convicted on three felony charges, but his convictions were later overturned on appeal in 1991 due to issues related to the use of immunized testimony. After the scandal, Hall pursued a modeling career in Hollywood and was married to rock manager Danny Sugarman until his death in 2005.

North went on to establish the nonprofit Freedom Alliance, authored several books, and hosted a TV show on Fox News. In 2018, he served as president of the National Rifle Association.

The wedding was described as simple and private, with none of North’s four children attending. Both North and Hall have remained silent in response to requests for comments.
