WASHINGTON — Less than three months after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was sworn in, his son, Nick, reached out to thank State Department officials for a private tour they had given him and his mother, Susan Pompeo, of the agency's in-house museum.
Both Congress and the State Department's inspector general have been investigating potential misuse of government resources by Mike Pompeo and his wife. Story continues"The dryer isn't hooked up. ... I think you told me someone was coming to fix that?" Susan Pompeo said via text message to a State Department official, whose name is redacted, in September 2018."Ma'am – On it, I was told it was fixed. Let me get you an answer," the official responded by email hours later.
The emails are heavily redacted, citing FOIA exemptions for personal privacy. In an email from September 2019, with the subject line"5 Day Guest Schedule," the only word not redacted in the entire email is the sign-off,"Best." As a member of Congress from Kansas, Pompeo became one of the most forceful critics of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her use of personal email to conduct government business, telling CNN in 2015,"She had these in a place that didn't have the benefit of the State Department's security system."
"The State Department employee who sent this email acted appropriately and we have no security concerns about this practice," the department's spokesperson said in response to an inquiry about the email. The emails about the YPO visit are from March, April and June 2019. They include one with the subject line"A couple projects" in which Susan Pompeo laid out a list of tasks for staffers, including one labeled"YPO Kansas Family College."The next day, the unnamed staffer responded with an"Overview/Update" about the YPO visit. The itinerary: the U.S.
Pompeo's conduct as secretary has come under growing scrutiny since May, when he had the State Department's independent watchdog, Inspector General Steve Linick, fired. It later emerged that Linick had several investigations underway involving Pompeo and his office, which the Office of the Inspector General, or OIG, has continued after Linick's ouster under a series of acting inspectors general.
