Robert Mallory mystery deepens as Biden's Iran envoy remains sidelined -
Weeks after the controversy over Mr. Malley first erupted, the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Friday morning received a classified briefing from the State Department on the matter. The long-awaited briefing comes amid growing outrage over the administration’s handling of the incident and its potential implications for U.S. diplomacy and national security.
There are also new questions about the timeline of events. Politico first reported late last month that Mr. Malley was on leave. He appears to have given public interviews about Iran as recently as late May. A State Department spokesperson last week confirmed that Mr. Malley remains on leave. Officials said they could not give further information about Mr. Malley‘s status because of privacy considerations.
Mr. Malley, considered one of the architects of the original 2015 deal when he served under Mr. Obama, was tapped by President Biden to head up the effort to revive the deal. After nearly two years of diplomacy, negotiations broke down last year amid Iran’s brutal crackdown on domestic protesters, its military backing of Russia in its war with Ukraine, and continued assaults on U.S. troops in the Middle East by militias with direct links to Tehran.
