North gains limited immunity in Iran Contra hearings
Washington AP The congressional panels voted to grant Lt. Col. Oliver North limited immunity to compel private testimony starting June 15 with possible public appearance as early as July 16. North’s earlier refusal to answer questions on self incrimination remains a factor as prosecutors sought to restrict immunity’s reach. Meanwhile Albert Hakim faced sharp questions over a $200,000 account claimed to aid North’s family.

He testified a meeting with an Iranian official discussed pressuring Reagan to secure missiles for Iran. Secord's spending and credibility were questioned as lawmakers plan further hearings. Hakim said North and Secord framed the hostages issue for political ends.
