US Special Envoy for Iran Rob Malley has taken roles at both Yale and Princeton’s global affairs schools for the fall semester.
Malley is currently on leave from the State Department due to a security clearance review and is reportedly under FBI investigation over an alleged mishandling of classified documents.
“While I am on leave from the State Department, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to work with the next generation of public servants at the School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University,” Malley says in a Princeton press release.
Yale’s website says Malley is “on leave from the US State Department where he had been serving as Special Envoy for Iran since January 28, 2021.”
It’s unclear when or if Malley will be returning to government, and the US State and Justice Departments decline to comment on the matter.
