Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was dialed into President Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
The revelation — disclosed to the Journal by a senior State Department official — comes after Pompeo on Friday was subpoenaed for documents by House Democrats conducting an impeachment inquiry into Trump.
The House is investigating efforts by Trump and his allies to pressure Ukraine into investigating Joe Biden — who is running for president — and Biden’s son Hunter.
The allegations of the smear campaign have been bubbling for several months, but blew up in recent days with the a whistleblower complaint detailing Trump’s comments on the call and the White House’s moves to cover them up.
The complaint claimed that State Department counselor Ulrich Brechbuhl was on the call — a claim a State Department official has reportedly denied.
Brechbuhl is among the current and former State Department officials the House is seeking to depose in addition to the lawmakers’ document subpoena of Pompeo.
Time for an old classic

Get in the pod, Mike. Save yourself, before it’s too late, Mike.
Well, so much for him running for Senate in Kansas…when he gets up there and says it was just fine for Trump to pressure a foreign leader to investigate an election rival it’s going to go over very badly, especially if he tries to defend it. And, I’m not sure Pompeo would, for being a Republican he seems like someone that wouldn’t go along with something like this…maybe he will be the first big Republican to turn on Trump, just by trying to save his own skin and tell the truth (a novelty for today’s Republicans).
It really is an avalanche, and it’s too late for the pebbles to keep from getting clobbered.
Is it me, or can we look forward to the below this week?
