Mike Pompeo Refuses To Support Release Of Presidential Transcript Of Ukraine Call
Mike Pompeo refused to confirm what was in the presidential transcript of Trump's call to the Ukrainian president, then tried to confuse the American public by claiming he didn't read The Wall Street Journal.
John Roberts filled in as host on Fox News Sunday, and tried to pry a response out of Pompeo to at least one of the numerous questions that need to be answered. Getting a straight answer out of any Trump official is a chore in and of itself. Unless forced to comply by the Supreme Court, these Trump enablers lie, obfuscate, and filibuster to deflect having to share any pertinent information.
Roberts said, "Mr. Secretary, you said that you have not seen the complaint, not many people have. I assume, though, that you have seen a transcript of the telephone call that the president had with Zelensky. Should a transcript of that be released to clear the air? Again, I assume that you've seen the transcript. Is it as described in The Wall Street Journal?"
***Pompeo did not deny reading the transcript of Trump's call. Instead, he deferred to the White House about releasing them.
Since the Secretary of State didn't deny knowing what Trump said to President Zelensky, Roberts tried again. He asked, "Again, I assume that you've seen the transcript. Is it as described in The Wall Street Journal ?"
"You know, I haven't seen The Wall Street Journal piece, John. There's a lot going on in the world," Pompeo responded. But he did read the phone call transcript.
