State Dept Investigation of Biden's Iran Envoy Broadens Into Probe of His Suspension
2024-02-20
[Hot Air] The curious suspension of Robert Malley grows even more curious -- and perhaps just as curious as how he got hired at all, if not more.

Joe Biden's special envoy to Iran got mysteriously suspended last spring by the State Department, but the White House never informed Congress of it. The Tehran Times somehow acquired and published the State Department's suspension memo last September, much to the chagrin of Congress, which demanded some answers toute suite on Malley's status.
Does Bob have a home in Rehoboth Beach by chance ?
Now Semafor reports that the State Department's IG wants some answers, too. Nearly a month ago, the IG office informed the relevant congressional committees that they would expand their existing probe into Malley's conduct to include members of the State Department involved in the suspension -- and what took place afterward. This is in addition to the FBI investigation into the conduct that resulted in the suspension in the first place:

Prudent of Bob to get a copy of his suspension to his legal counsel in Tehran. How can the suspension be appealed without it ?
