A senior member of Congress asked the House Foreign Affairs Committee to probe the “failed policy ideas” of former Biden White House official Brett McGurk, National Review has learned.

The request went out earlier this week in a letter that Representative Joe Wilson addressed to committee chairman Brian Mast on Tuesday. “It is hard to understate the damage that Brett McGurk has had on U.S. national security interests in the Middle East,” Wilson wrote. He asked Mast to bring McGurk to testify before his committee.

McGurk left the White House, where he served as national security coordinator for the Middle East, at the end of the Biden administration last month.

McGurk’s time in government spans multiple U.S. presidential administrations, starting during the Bush-era occupation of Iraq. After President Obama tapped him to be U.S. envoy to the global coalition against ISIS, he continued in the post under President Trump. McGurk resigned from the role in 2018, criticizing Trump’s announcement that he would withdraw U.S. forces from northwestern Syria.

In the letter, Wilson cites comments Trump made after McGurk’s resignation accusing the official of orchestrating the Obama administration’s $1.7 billion payment to Iran.

“He criticized President Trump’s successful maximum pressure campaign against Iran by inaccurately stating that ‘Iran is now behaving more provocatively, not less,’” Wilson wrote. “Yet during the Biden administration, Iran acted more aggressively than ever before despite outreach led by McGurk and a lack of sanctions enforcement and is closer than ever before in obtaining a nuclear weapon.”

Wilson also accused McGurk of aligning himself with former Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki, who ruled the country in a way that stoked sectarian divisions and led to the emergence of ISIS. Wilson also pointed to U.S. partnerships with Iran-backed Iraqi militias at the outset of the counter-ISIS campaign and McGurk’s tenure as Obama’s envoy to it.

“The fact that someone so consistently wrong, in ways that endangered U.S. national security, continued to shape policy amongst different administrations exposes a major problem in the foreign policy establishment,” Wilson wrote.

“Congress must investigate McGurk’s failed policy ideas, which have been consistently wrong for decades, to ensure such failures never happen again,” he added. Neither McGurk nor a spokesman for Mast responded to NR’s requests for comment.
