"You just gave me a report… none of which I've seen," Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tells @martharaddatz when asked about a report that President Trump pressed the President of Ukraine to work with Rudy Giuliani to investigate Joe Biden's son. https://t.co/CaWsz4XapY pic.twitter.com/coDl6mG6Dy

Signs of guilt:

Caught by good questions, Secretary Mnuchin:

1. Won’t confirm or deny Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate Biden

2. Won’t even state that it’d be improper for any President to pressure foreign govt to investigate political opponentpic.twitter.com/pnW1ep7GHL

This is a disappointing interview. Pompeo is not confronted with the $250m of appropriated US aid that was withheld from Ukraine, asked to explain the extra $140m sent later without an appropriation, etc. https://t.co/q1AIjMkE0O
