Here is our full interview with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. It's worth a listen.

Pompeo Won't Say Whether He Owes Yovanovitch An Apology. 'I've Done What's Right'

As the State Department faces ongoing questions over Marie Yovanovitch's treatment as U.S. envoy to Ukraine, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tells NPR, "I've defended every single person on this team."

Journalists don’t sit down with senior officials to score political points. We do it in the service of asking tough questions, on behalf of our fellow citizens. And then sharing the answers—or lack thereof—with the world. My take for @NYT :

Opinion | Pompeo Called Me a ‘Liar.’ That’s Not What Bothers Me. (Published 2020)

I’d hoped Rachel Mitchell would act like a prosecutor, but she is 100% acting as the Republicans’ defense attorney. #KavanaghHearing
