The State Department said on Dec. 10 that an independent probe by its watchdog found that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s wife did not not violate federal ethics rules by traveling abroad with her husband on official business, as alleged by Democrats and the media.
A report released by State Department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) to Congress states that Pompeo and his wife, Susan, are “fully vindicated from baseless claims reported as fact by Democrats and Media” after a nearly year-long investigation by the watchdog.
