'Never heard about this at all': Pompeo says he knew nothing about alleged Yovanovitch tracking
WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Friday he knew nothing about alleged surveillance of former U.S. ambassador Marie Yovanovitch by associates of Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer.
“I’d never heard about this at all,” Pompeo told Hugh Hewitt, a conservative talk radio host. "Until the story broke, I had, to the best of my recollection, had never heard of this at all."
The allegations emerged Tuesday, when House Democrats released text messages and documents suggesting that Lev Parnas, a Giuliani associate, discussed tracking Yovanovitch in March 2019.
The text messages show Parnas communicating with Robert Hyde, a pro-Trump congressional candidate in Connecticut who claimed to have Yovanovitch under surveillance. In March, Parnas sent Hyde articles critical of Yovanovitch. Hyde responded, "Wow. can't believe Trumo [sic] hasn't fired this b****."
