One source familiar with the matter told CBS News that the FBI was examining Malley's handling of classified material.
The FBI is now looking into President Biden's Iran envoy, Rob Malley, three sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.
As presidential envoy for Iran, Malley was based at the State Department, and his portfolio included both the attempts to resurrect a nuclear agreement with Iran, as well as negotiations over at least three American citizens who remain wrongfully detained by Tehran. Malley coordinated closely with both Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the White House National Security Council, whose Middle East division is led by Brett McGurk.
On"Face the Nation," Foreign Relations Committee member Senator Chris Coons, Democrat of Delaware, said he had not been briefed on Malley's"security situation" or on any involvement by the FBI. He, too, called for Congress to be briefed on many Iran-related matters, including the status of any potential negotiation with Iran.
