Original Note:
Fact check: 1) Unless Malley himself can be considered "an Iranian spy ring," no there wasn't. Even then, no charges have yet been filed against him. 2) Apart from Malley, all other reports during and since the Biden administration reference external Iranian operations. https://www.fbi.gov/news/press-releases/joint-odni-fbi-and-cisa-statement-on-iranian-election-influence-efforts https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/10/fbi-probes-iran-envoy-malley-classified-info-00157321 https://wapo.st/3TwqIBq https://www.thenation.com/article/world/iran-disinformation-espionage-allegations/
