Biden's Iran envoy kept classified material on personal email, cellphone that was hacked: GOP lawmakers
Republican lawmakers revealed "troubling allegations" against President Biden’s embattled special envoy to Iran, Robert Malley, who is said to have stored classified material on a personal email account and cellphone that were later accessed by a "hostile cyber actor."
The top Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations and House Foreign Affairs committees sent a letter to the State Department on Monday requesting confirmation of their findings against Malley, who was placed on unpaid leave last June and had his security clearance suspended amid a State Department investigation for allegedly mishandling classified documents.
The letter, which was obtained by Fox News Digital, was addressed to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and included a handful of allegations against Malley that stemmed from an investigation launched by Senate Foreign Relations Committee ranking member James Risch, R-Idaho, and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul, R-Texas.
"We remain deeply frustrated by the Department's lack of responsiveness to our requests for information needed to conduct appropriate oversight," the lawmakers told Blinken in the letter, which was first reported by the Washington Post. "Due to the Department’s evasiveness and lack of transparency, we have worked to glean information from other sources.
