Pompeo rips Dems for scheduling Trump impeachment hearing during NATO summit

Share:

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Monday on “Fox & Friends” that it’s “very unfortunate” that House Democrats are moving ahead with impeachment hearings this week at the same time President Trump will be holding key meetings at the NATO summit in London.

“There is a long tradition that we support presidents when they travel overseas to do their work. For them to hold hearings back here in Washington to distract America’s president from his important mission overseas … it’s very unfortunate,” said Pompeo, as the House Judiciary Committee gets ready to start its public hearings on Wednesday.

He touted Trump’s work on successfully convincing NATO member nations to increase security spending.

“About $130 billion in increased spending so far, several hundred billion more in increased spending over the next three or four years. This is a direct result of President Trump making it clear our expectations that the Europeans step up to secure their own people,” said Pompeo.

Trump is set to meet Tuesday and Wednesday in London with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron, who recently claimed that the U.S. appears to be “turning its back” on NATO.

Meantime, three days before the House Judiciary Committee is set to call witnesses to testify at a hearing regarding the possible impeachment of President Trump, their identities are being kept hidden not just from the White House, but even members of the committee itself. – READ MORE
