Biden Iran Envoy Placed on Unpaid Leave

Big day at the Supreme Court today. The Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision on the Biden administration student debt forgiveness plan this morning. It's expected to be the Supreme Court's last day of the term before it breaks for summer recess. Now, President Biden's plan to cancel $430 billion in student debt was intended to benefit up to four 43 million Americans but no word on how the nine justices will rule on this elsewhere. The Biden administration special envoy for Iran Rob Malley has been placed on unpaid leave and his security clearance has been suspended over allegations he might have mishandled classified information. Two state department officials say that the agency's Bureau of Diplomatic Security is leading that inquiry surrounding his handling of classified documents. This in the state department's regular afternoon briefing.
