Mike Pompeo
“It will be a peaceful handover to the second Trump administration. We will count all the votes, “said US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo after the election. He is thus another figure who has shown loyalty to the current president. According to him, it is a “legal process that will take time”.
The head of American diplomacy, who recently visited the Czech Republic, spoke so strongly from Trump’s cabinet as the only one. Not only did he raise the question of the legality of the election, but he immediately stated that he was counting on victory.
Pompeo, a supporter of the conservative Tea Party movement, served as CIA director from 2017 to 2018. However, he later spoke out against the secret service, saying during a lecture at the University of Texas that the CIA had “lied and cheated.” He said this in the context of the West Point cadet vow, which reads “The cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”
He has not been in the Trump cabinet since the beginning, the president nominated him to the office of foreign minister after the dismissal of Rex Tillerson in March 2018.
