Previously, he served as national security advisor to the vice president under then-Vice President Joe Biden (2014–2017).[1] After the Obama administration, Kahl served as a Steven C. Házy Senior Fellow at Stanford University.[2][3][4][5]
In the Obama administration, Kahl was involved in the negotiations of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal.
Early life and education
Kahl was born in MichiganШаблон:Citation needed and raised in Richmond, California.[6] He graduated from John F. Kennedy High School in 1989.[7] Kahl earned a bachelor of arts degree in political science from the University of Michigan in 1993 and a PhD in political science from Columbia University in 2000.[8] Under his advisors Robert Jervis and Jack Snyder, Kahl's doctoral thesis was entitled States, Scarcity, and Civil Strife in the Developing World [Kenya].[9]
Career
From 1997 to 1998, he was a national security fellow at Harvard University. From 2005 to 2006, he was a Council on Foreign Relations International Affairs Fellow, working on stability operations policy at the Department of Defense.[10] He has been a professor at the University of Minnesota. Kahl has published in leading security studies journals, such as International Security and Security Studies, as well as Foreign Affairs.[11][12][13]
Obama Administration
From 2009 to 2011, he was the deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East in the Obama administration.[14] In 2011, he was awarded the Secretary of Defense Medal for Outstanding Public Service by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.[14] In 2014, he became National Security Advisor to then-Vice President Joe Biden.[15] In the Obama administration, Kahl was directly involved in negotiating the Iran Nuclear Deal, as well as publicly advocating for it.[16][17]
In May 2018, it was revealed that aides to U.S. President Donald Trump had contracted with the Israeli private intelligence firm Black Cube to find evidence to support unsubstantiated and false claims that Kahl was being enriched by Iran lobbyists and that either he or deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes were cheating on their wives.[18][19][20][21][22]
Biden Administration
In November 2020, Kahl was named a member of the Joe Biden presidential transition Agency Review Team to support transition efforts related to the National Security Council.[23]
Kahl was nominated by Biden to serve as the under secretary of defense for policy. His nomination was subject to controversy in the Senate, with the Republican caucus unanimously opposing his confirmation due to his support for the Iran nuclear deal, as well as for his criticisms of Trump administration policies.[24][25] Republicans also argued that Kahl had tweeted out classified information, demanding an FBI investigation into it; experts on classification told Politico the Republican accusations against Kahl appeared to be politically motivated, asserting that the tweets did not appear to constitute a violation.[26][27]
On March 4, 2021, the Senate's Armed Forces Committee held hearings on Kahl's nomination. The committee deadlocked on the nomination on March 24, 2021, therefore delaying his confirmation. The entire Senate voted to discharge Kahl's nomination from the committee in a 50–50 roll call vote; Vice President Kamala Harris was needed to break the tie.[28] On April 27, 2021, Kahl was confirmed by a vote of 49–45, thanks in part to the absence of several Republican senators.[29][4] He was sworn in the following day by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.[30]
In May 2023 it became known that Kahl would return to his role as a professor at Stanford University after being granted a two years leave of absence.[31]
