🔴حذف رابرت مالی، نماینده سابق کاخسفید در امور ایران و عضو اصلی تیم مذاکرهکننده آمریکا در مذاکرات هستهای و تعلیق مجوز فعالیتش در کاخسفید که ماهها پیش صورت گرفت، به علت نگهداری اسناد محرمانه در تلفن شخصی و سرقت شدن آنها از طریق حمله سایبری بوده است.
Breaking: The State Department’s special envoy, Robert Malley, has been sidelined while under federal investigation for going on one year — without any official explanation. Now, new information about the case is coming to light…
On Monday, the top Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations and House Foreign Affairs committees sent a letter, a copy of which I obtained, to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, decrying the lack of information about the official investigation and laying out the results of their own inquiry…
Risch and McCaul are asking the State Department to confirm that Malley’s security clearance was suspended by the State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service because he “allegedly transferred classified documents to his personal email account and downloaded these documents to his personal cell phone.”
n the letter, the Republican lawmakers also ask the State Department to confirm their belief that “a hostile cyber actor was able to gain access to his email and/or phone and obtain the downloaded information.”
“When and how did the cyber actor compromise Mr. Malley’s account?” the letter asks. “Did the compromise of Mr. Malley’s device enable subsequent compromise of other senior officials at the State Department, National Security Council, or other agencies? How did the malign cyber actor utilize the information obtained from Mr. Malley?”
Mishandling of classified documents can be a felony in some instances, but the Justice Department’s approach to such investigations varies greatly case to case. Biden, former vice president Mike Pence and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton were all investigated but never charged. Former president Donald Trump was charged, albeit under very different circumstances…
Malley has critics in Congress who see him as too cozy with the Iranian regime and its allies. Lawmakers and the public have a right to know the details of any alleged transgressions. But Malley also has a right to know his fate, one way or the other. And the administration should have its top Iran envoy either cleared or charged, so it can effectively manage this crucial foreign policy challenge.
