[Daily Caller] WASHINGTON -- Republican Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley requested from the Justice Department and FBI Friday information about how an FBI translator was allegedly able to go to Syria and marry the ISIS operative who she was supposed to be investigating.In a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, Grassley asked for answers pertaining to how the romantic relationship came about and the FBI was unaware of it the entire time. Grassley also requested any prior or newly implemented policies that dealt with situations like this -- specifically about the vetting process for hiring contractors -- as well as if there were any reviews or disciplinary actions taken because the incident. "This rogue employee had access to highly sensitive national security information. I’m troubled that a relationship between an FBI employee and a prominent ISIS recruiter went unnoticed, and more troubled that there wasn’t a safeguard to successfully catch this incident," Grassley said in his letter to Rosenstein and McCabe.
