FBI looking into Biden Iran envoy Rob Malley over handling of classified material, multiple sources say
CBSN
The FBI is now looking into President Biden's Iran envoy, Rob Malley, three sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.
One source familiar with the matter told CBS News that the FBI was looking at Malley's handling of classified material. It is unclear if the bureau's examination encompasses other issues. There was no indication from this source that the FBI considers it a criminal matter at this point.
Congressional intelligence committees are routinely briefed on this type of issue, though lawmakers contacted by CBS News declined to comment, citing the sensitivity of the matter.
