Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Tuesday released a report that allegedly revealed that the State Department refused to arrest alleged Iranian terrorists during former Presidents Barack Obama's and Joe Biden's administrations. 

The 81-page report cited whistleblower disclosures, and accused the FBI and State Departments under the former administrations of "persistently and systematically derail[ing] criminal and national security investigations," during and after the Iran Nuclear Deal negotiations.

Grassley slammed the findings in a statement, claiming the report showed the previous administrations "jeopardized" U.S. national security. He also asserted that the inaction from the administrations paved the way for the Oct. 7 attack on Israel in 2023. 

“This report offers chilling evidence the Obama-Biden administration jeopardized our national security and demoralized the morale of FBI agents who were working to keep Americans safe,” Grassley said. “Democrats’ historic refusal to get tough on Iran emboldened its regime and allowed Tehran to continue funding global acts of terrorism, like what we saw on October 7, 2023. 

"We should all be breathing a sigh of relief President Trump is back in the White House to restore American strength on the world stage and hold Iran accountable for its evil acts," he added. 

The report also highlights internal emails within the Obama and Biden FBI, which showed the discontent among agents and officials regarding the administration's lack of arrests. 

One email revealed the State Department, under the leadership of then-Secretary of State John Kerry, repeatedly blocked the FBI from arresting individuals involved in Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

“We are all beside ourselves on asking the field to stand down on a layup arrest, however as it stands right now we all have to sit back and wait until all the US and Iran negotiations resolve themselves," an FBI official wrote.

The full report comes after the Biden administration failed to respond to Grassley's initial findings last year.
