Republicans lawmakers have uncovered “troubling allegations” that President Biden’s suspended special envoy to Iran, Robert Malley, stored classified material on his personal email account and cellphone — which was later accessed by a “hostile cyber actor.”
The top Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations and House Foreign Affairs committee on Monday asked the State Department to confirm the allegations against Malley, who was quietly placed on unpaid leave last June and had his security clearance suspended amid a State Department investigation reportedly centered on his potential mishandling of classified information.
The State Department has refused to reveal the exact nature of the allegations against Malley, leading Senate Foreign Relations Committee ranking member James Risch (R-Idaho) and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) to launch their own investigation into Biden’s top diplomat for Iran.
“Due to the Department’s evasiveness and lack of transparency, we have worked to glean information from other sources,” Risch and McCaul wrote in a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, obtained by the Washington Post. “Our own investigations have uncovered the following information and troubling allegations. We ask that you confirm the information we have learned.”
“Specifically, we understand that Mr. Malley’s security clearance was suspended because he allegedly transferred classified documents to his personal email account and downloaded these documents to his personal cell phone,” Risch and McCaul wrote.
“It is unclear to whom he intended to provide these documents, but it is believed that a hostile cyber actor was able to gain access to his email and/or phone and obtain the downloaded information,” they added.
The lawmakers asked Blinken to provide more information about the amount of documents Malley allegedly had on personal devices and their level of classification.

Sure, but no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.

Right. The hildabeast exemption sets precedent
You take your secret docs and put them on your illegal , unsecured google email account or your smart phone.
Then you look the other way while the adversary you are spying for “hacks “ your account with your assistance and knowledge.
Another trick that has resulted in some spectacular and tragic data thefts is to have a very high level government (read Obama Admin) official go on an official site visit to another government agency or defense contractor and ask to use their computer system for some pretext like checking their email.
Given the fact that this is a very high level person (who often controls your funding. or regulates your organization or industry) who holds what should be a very trusted position, they are given free run of the system at the access level of a senior executive that interfaces with these high level people.
They download malware hidden in their thumb drive and suddenly the Chinese or Iranians have free run of the computer network.
The GOP should demand that he be charged the same as Trump. If they were working for us, they would. This is just further proof that the classified docs case against Trump needs be thrown out, especially since there’s no evidence that anyone accessed the docs at MAL.
What’s a little espionage and treason among Democrats, at this point it’s SOP for them, other than keeping up the pretense of being pro-American they should just admit to working for our enemies
What’s the problem? Hillary did it, and she skated.
Exactly what I was thinking too. Much like it seems Hillary was doing with her personal server.
🤔 no charges? No arrest? No search of house, nor his attorney’s phone and computer? Oh, oh, maybe he also owns a 67 corvette and has a son working for a foreign oil company…..
BTTT
So likely true.

I’m thinking a strongly worded letter by the republiTARDS is in order!
>Sure, but no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.<
Bravo. My thoughts too, but you disguised it like a pro.
I wonder how they are slipping the money to Malley. Did he start a foundation?
