Biden Iran policy under scrutiny amid top aide's security clearance suspension

Growing scrutiny of U.S. Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley’s alleged misconduct for reportedly revealing classified information has angered some in Congress who are demanding answers.

McCaul sent a detailed information request letter to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken last week.  Benjamin Weinthal reports on Israel, Iran, Syria, Turkey and Europe for Fox News Digital.

The Texas Republican wrote that Malley’s suspension earlier this year raises "serious concerns both regarding Malley’s conduct and whether the State Department misled Congress and the American public."

McCaul noted, "While the suspension of Special Envoy Malley’s clearance is independently troubling, our concern is compounded by the State Department’s failure to respond to the Committee’s efforts to conduct oversight of its negotiations with and policy toward Iran. Since April 11, 2023, the Committee has repeatedly requested Special Envoy Malley’s testimony, which the Department has not fulfilled, despite Special Envoy Malley’s numerous press engagements dating back to May 30, 2023."
