House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul has added fuel to the fire, stating that Malley may have “compromised classified information” related to the United States’ adversaries.
Malley was placed on unpaid leave by the State Department in June, and his security clearance was suspended, pending an investigation into the potential mishandling of classified material.
The FBI is also said to be conducting an “ongoing” investigation into the matter.
“Well, and what you just mentioned with Rob Malley remains one of the greatest national security scandals in our nation’s history. So, Rob Malley was Joe Biden’s chief negotiator for Iran. He’s an incredible Iran sympathizer,” Cruz claims.
Questions of Malley’s background
“He is an advocate, a passionate advocate for the disastrous Obama-Iran nuclear deal. But he also has extraordinarily bad judgment. He’s been fired. He’s had his security clearances stripped, which I want you to pause and think, just how bad does his conduct have to be to have his security clearances pulled by this ideological and radical White House?”
