Questions ranged from the Kurds to the Ukraine scandal. Related to that, Mr. Pompeo was asked repeatedly if he had met with President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani secretly in Warsaw, Poland in February.
Pompeo pointedly evaded the question:
Amons: In mid-February, you were in Warsaw, and so was Rudy Giuliani. During your time there, did you meet with Giuliani?Ms. Amons persisted, however, with Mr. Pompeo, in his trademark smugness, again evaded:
Pompeo: You know, I don't talk about who I meet with. I went to Warsaw for a particular purpose. It was an important mission. We brought together people all across the world to take down the world's largest state-sponsored terror, the Islamic Republic of Iran. That's what I worked on on that mission.
Amons: So you're not going to say whether or not you met with him?Ms. Amons then moved to another subject, asking if Mr. Pompeo knew the scheme that involved the President illegally pressuring Ukraine to investigate his political opponents.
Pompeo: So when I was in Warsaw, I had a singular focus. My focus was singularly on the work that we have done, effective work, to recover from what the Obama administration has done, which is to underwrite the world's largest state-sponsor of terror. We've stopped that, we're making real progress.
Amons: It sounds like you're not going to say?
Pompeo: When I was in Warsaw, we were working diligently to accomplish the mission to take down the terror regime that is inside the Islamic Republic of Iran. That's what I worked on, that's the only thing that I engaged in while I was there.
Instead of answering, Pompeo insulted Ms. Amons:
Amons: Were you aware that this was happening?
Pompeo: Again, you've got your facts wrong--it sounds like you're working at least in part for the Democratic National Committee.
News4 has the whole interview here. I highly suggest you give it a watch.
