Pompeo: ‘I Don’t Get My Ethics Guidance’ from Sen. Menendez Who Was Criminally Prosecuted for Bribery

‘I’ll continue to do the right thing’

EXCERPT:

POMPEO: "Here's the last thing to think about as you see the stories that have been leaked to you all, right to the press. This is all coming through the office of Senator Menendez. I don't get my ethics guidance from a man who was criminally prosecuted; case number 15-155, New Jersey Federal District Court. A man for whom his Senate colleagues bipartisan said basically that he was taking bribes. That's -- that's not someone who I look to for ethics guidance. And so I'll continue to do the right thing, to make sure the State Department is served by every employee including our inspector general. We will make sure the State Department continues to deliver on behalf of the American people.”
