The move comes in response to the State Department’s secrecy after a top diplomat lost his access to classified material.
“In a perfect world, we wouldn’t need this bill,” said Brian Mast, the chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s Subcommittee on Oversight and Accountability. | Mariam Zuhaib/APHouse Republicans are moving to require the State Department to alert the Hill if senior officials lose their security clearance — a response to misleading statements by the agency about an investigation into a top diplomat.
The bill — which was viewed by POLITICO ahead of its public announcement — would require State to notify House Foreign Affairs and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee within 15 days of a clearance’s suspension or revocation, and to brief the committees within 30 days. Before his clearance was suspended, Malley helmed the Biden administration’s efforts to revive the Iran nuclear deal.
But a companion bill in the Senate — which a spokesperson said Sen. Mike Hagerty plans to introduce — could run into more trouble.
