Mike Pompeo on Sunday defended former President Donald Trump and his handling of Russia, saying he's proud of the work the two did during his tenure as secretary of state.

In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," host Chris Wallace asked Pompeo about various human-rights violations Russia stands accused of.

"With respect to human rights, I - we take a backseat to no one," Pompeo said in response to a question from Wallace on Trump's handling of Russia. "I heard Secretary [Anthony] Blinken talk about the work they're doing to try and convince the Europeans to stand alongside us on human-rights violations in China and the work that they've done defending human rights against Russian abuses. We were tough there too, Chris."

"I'm proud of the work we did there," Pompeo added. "It was good work. It was serious work and it made a difference."
