HAPPENING NOW—POMPEO BRIEFING: Sec. of State Mike Pompeo holds a press conference. Pompeo is under fire for requesting the firing of State Dept Inspector General Steve Linick, who was investigating Pompeo for suspected misuse of State Dept resources. Pompeo has claimed that the firing was coincidental, and that he didn’t know any investigation was going on. However new reporting from the Washington Post suggests that Linick told multiple high-ranking officials, including people in Pompeo’s office. In a transcript released yesterday, Linick said that his ‘office reached out to get documents from the office of the secretary as well as the office of the legal adviser...I didn’t want them to be surprised, I told him the nature of the documents that we would be requesting.’ Linick, who began working at the Justice Dept. under Pres. Bush, was Pres. Trump’s fourth IG firing in six weeks.
