The chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Friday said he is proceeding to draft a resolution accusing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo of contempt for ignoring the panel’s requests to investigate him.
Chairman Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) said the resolution is in response to hand over subpoenaed documents related to an investigation about whether he has misused government resources for political purposes. One involves a subpoena issued in September 2019 related to the House impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump’s dealings with Ukraine’s leadership, and the second one is related to thousands of documents that the Department of State provided to Republican-controlled Senate panels related to an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden.
