She was Lt. Colonel Oliver North's secretary from February 1983 until she was fired on November 25, 1986. She smuggled confidential papers out of her employer's office on November 25, 1986, causing President Reagan to form a task force which eventually put both North and Hall on trial.
In exchange for her testimony she was granted immunity and she confessed to shredding a large number of documents.
On March 22, 1989 She began two days of testimony at Olive North's Iran-Contra trial in Washington.
Later, she married Danny Sugerman, former manager of The Doors; Sugerman died in January 2005.
