Pompousasseo aide chides inspector general's office as tensions linger
The State Department has sharply criticized and largely rejected a recent inspector general’s investigation that found “substantial evidence” two Trump administration political appointees had failed to properly report behavior amounting to “workplace violence.”
The department’s response to the probe, included in papers obtained by POLITICO, is fresh evidence of the lingering tensions between Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the watchdog office in the days since he engineered the firing of Inspector General Steve Linick in mid-May.
The investigation into the workplace violence issue also involves the leaders of the Office of the Chief of Protocol – a State Department division that faces scrutiny in a separate, ongoing inspector general’s office probe into Pompeo and his wife.
On Monday, Democrats subpoenaed four Pompeo aides to testify in a congressional investigation into why the secretary had pushed President Donald Trump to oust Linick, who was notified of his firing on May 15.
