"When the news broke that the FBI had denied Ben Rhodes an interim security clearance during the 2008 Obama transition, I, like many Americans, was deeply troubled that a man unworthy of a security clearance was nevertheless made a senior Obama adviser," Rep. Trent Franks (R., Ariz.), one of the leaders of the current inquiry, told the Free Beacon.
"Ben Rhodes used his position to create the Iran deal ‘echo chamber' by admittedly lying to the gullible media in order to willfully mislead the American people about the [Iran nuclear deal]—consequently, questions abound," Franks said, adding that multiple questions remain about the circumstances surrounding FBI investigations into Rhodes' past.
"What did the FBI find that led them to suggest Ben Rhodes be denied a security clearance? Why was Ben Rhodes the only applicant out of 187 to be rejected for an interim security clearance? Why did he go on to become the president's most trusted foreign policy advisor?" Franks asked. "We need to know this information in order to judge Mr. Rhodes' legacy as a senior foreign policy adviser, and protect the integrity of our security clearance processes."
Franks disclosed that the Obama administration has declined to answer congressional questions regarding the situation.
"So far the Obama administration has refused to answer," he said. "I sent the letter to [FBI Director James] Comey in order to get the answers to these important questions."
