A
300-page report released by Democrats leading the House of
Representatives Intelligence Committee earlier this week leveled
allegations of sweeping abuse of power by Trump. It also
suggested that Pompeo was among senior officials who either knew
about or were involved in an effort to gain political benefits
from a foreign power.
The Republican president has denied any wrongdoing, calling the
inquiry a hoax.
The report noted that many of Trump's "closest subordinates and
advisors," including Pompeo aided Trump’s efforts to pressure
Ukraine and withheld information from Congress.
