We obtained nearly 400 pages of Mike Pompeo’s personal emails from his time as CIA director.

These records reveal a problematic amount of official business conducted over private email and show Pompeo fielding questionable investigation requests.

The emails also include multiple indications of Mike Pompeo’s wife Susan Pompeo’s engagement with CIA officials during his tenure as director, adding to public reporting of her extensive and potentially inappropriate level of involvement at both the CIA & State.

Throughout his time as director, Pompeo appears to have regularly received official schedules at his personal email account — an unusual arrangement for high-level government officials, who generally have access to government systems at their home offices and on work phones.

This extensive use of personal email for agency business raises questions about what other activities Pompeo conducted over personal email, including at State — and about whether efforts need to be undertaken to preserve government records in personal accounts.

Over a year after we filed suit, State hasn't yet produced records of any of Pompeo’s personal emails while serving as secretary, even as his pledge to release former Sec. Clinton’s emails has publicly underscored his purported commitment to transparency.
