Exclusive: A @StateDept whistleblower complaint about Mike Pompeo, made public for the first time, reveals that eyewitnesses made repeated attempts to inform executive leadership and legal advisers about his “questionable activities.” (w/ @BryanLowry3) mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-…
This is the first whistleblower complaint about the secretary's conduct to be made public – and redactions to the complaint show that, despite Steve Linick's firing in May, the investigation into Pompeo's conduct remains ongoing. mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-…
“I directly witnessed much of the behavior,” the whistleblower wrote. Others witnesses tried to inform State Department leadership and the Office of Legal Affairs about Pompeo's behavior, "but were blocked from doing so.” kansascity.com/news/nation-wo…
The whistleblower said they had witnessed the concerning activity in Washington, D.C., New York and Florida, as well as overseas, raising new questions over a quiet visit Pompeo made to the Villages in January. kansascity.com/news/nation-wo…
The State Department redacted large portions of the four-page document, including names, dates and specific details of the questionable conduct. But it is confirmation of complaints from those in direct contact with Pompeo, which we first reported in May. kansas.com/news/nation-wo…
Numerous people were informed of the concerns. "None of them ever took action," the whistleblower wrote, "and several of them specifically directed subordinate staff to continue facilitating questionable activities after the concerns were raised.” kansascity.com/news/nation-wo…
Linick declined to discuss details of the investigations in congressional testimony last month. But he acknowledged that one inquiry was examining the Pompeos’ use of a political appointee to run personal errands. He was fired May 15. kansascity.com/news/nation-wo…
