__ Hall, secretary whom Oliver North caused to be at the centre of the Iran-Contra scandal (4)

I believe the answer is:

fawn

(Other definitions for fawn that I've seen before include "Young deer - beige colour" , "Light brown colour" , "Be obsequious towards young deer?" , "Bear does, maybe" , "Be obsequious, grovel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
