Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday defended his public statement that a senior adviser did not ask him to issue a statement of support for the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine after the adviser testified to the House under oath that he asked Pompeo three times to do so.
The State Department denied those allegations at the time, but they appear to have influenced Trump's decision to recall her. In his controversial July 25 call with Ukraine's new president Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Trump called Yovanovitch"bad news" and said she was"going to go through some things." That seemed to contradict what Pompeo told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on"This Week" on Oct. 20.
Asked about the difference Thursday in Germany, Pompeo initially dismissed the question:"I clearly follow this a lot less than you do. I haven't had the chance -- it's a pretty busy world out there -- I haven't had the chance to follow this."

John Bolton, Trump's former national security adviser, skips impeachment depositionFormer White House national security adviser Bolton fails to appear for his closed-door deposition in the House impeachment inquiry, following the lead of other current and former Trump admin. officials who have chosen not to show up. Of course...traitor!!!! There aren't any consequences. They know that. Until dems get tougher, it'll keep happening. This guy is corrupt. The trump admin probably has a treasure trove of things that can incriminate him. So, of course he won’t show. Too bad for him, it’s only a matter of time before everything is out.
