Answer:

Oliver North was involved in a scandal in the Iran-Contra affair.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oliver North was a member of the National Security Council in the Iran-Contra affair. During this scandal, the United States decided on selling illegal weapons to Iran to allow giving freedom to the U.S. hostages who were in Lebanon.

North's idea was to divert the earnings acquired during the arms sales to help the Contras in Nicaragua. Although he had been convicted during the Iran-Contra affair he was elected National Rifle Association president in 2018. However, he was in office until April 27, 2019.
