IAL Applauds Rep. Scott Perry, Rep. Andy Biggs & 5 House Republican Lawmakers for Launching Congressional Investigation into the Corruption

IAL applauded Rep. Scott Perry for launching a long-overdue congressional investigation into corruption, bias, and partisan advocacy at Voice of America.
The probe, backed by several GOP lawmakers, highlights VOA Persian’s partisan actions, including a 2015 video of Masih Alinejad engaging in electioneering.
IAL vowed to monitor the process closely, stressing that it is unacceptable for a U.S. government agency to violate its charter without consequences.

The Iranian Americans for Liberty through our Executive Director, Bryan E. Leib, release this statement exclusively to Newsmax:

“We applaud Representative Scott Perry for launching a congressional investigation into the biased media coverage, partisan advocacy, and widespread corruption at Voice of America. A congressional investigation into the wrongdoings at VOA is long overdue.

This investigation was launched by Rep. Perry with strong support from Representative Andy Biggs, Representative Barry Moore, Representative Mary Miller, Representative Bob Good, Representative Dan Bishop and Representative Madison Cawthorn.

VOA Persian must answer for their blatant acts of biased media coverage and partisan advocacy – including but not limited to the video from December 2015 of Masih Alinejad directly engaging in electioneering, which violates federal law. We will be following this investigation closely because we find it to be completely unacceptable for a U.S. Government agency to violate their charter without any repercussions.”
