The State Department is to brief the House Foreign Affairs Committee behind closed doors on the probe into Iran envoy Rob Malley's security clearance.
President Biden's Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley testifies about the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action during a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations on Capitol Hill on May 25, 2022, in Washington, D.C.
In late June, Malley was placed on full time, unpaid leave from the State Department when news of an investigation – alsoand Diplomatic Security – into his security clearance became public. The veteran diplomat who served in several Democratic presidential administrations was initially placed on partial leave in the spring.
During a live discussion with the Washington Post earlier this month, McCaul threatened to subpoena the State Department and hold a contempt hearing if the committee was not granted a classified briefing on the investigation into whether Malley should have access to classified information. "I don't know what the problem is with his background checks and his security clearances, only what's been reported that classified documents have been mishandled," McCaul said on July 17.
