In the letter, Rep. Issa stated, “Throughout both the Obama and Biden Administrations, Special Envoy Malley was a central figure in the development of Iran policy. In that capacity, he has helped steer official American policy toward a morally bankrupt detente with the world’s leading state sponsor of terror. The ramifications of Mr. Malley being compromised are practically limitless.” According to media reports, the FBI is looking into Malley over handling of classified material and “At least three close Malley associates were alleged to be part of the network, including Ariane Tabatabai, a senior Pentagon official who worked with Malley at the State Department. Tabatabai’s alleged membership in the influence network has drawn calls for her security clearance to be revoked pending an investigation.” Rep. Issa concluded: “Rob Malley deserves extensive scrutiny yesterday, today and tomorrow. These reports could not be more concerning, and they hint at what could be the worst State Department scandal since Alger Hiss,” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z |
