Mike Pompeo questions Dr. Oz's ties to Turkey after it was revealed the GOP Senate candidate voted
in the country's 2018 election
Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State under President Donald Trump, questioned Dr. Mehmet Oz's ties to the country of Turkey on Friday.
ABC reported on Wednesday that Oz voted in a 2018 Turkish election, despite denying he was ever politically active in the country.
Oz, who is backed by former President Donald Trump, is running in a high-profile Pennsylvania Senate Republican primary against David McCormick, who is endorsed by Pompeo. The primary is set for May 17.
"Maybe it's all innocent, maybe it's all straight up," Pompeo said during a press briefing on Friday, The Hill reported. "but we and the people of Pennsylvania and the Americans who he will be representing as one of the 100 members of the United States Senate voting on important national security matters need to understand the scope and depth of his relationship with the Turkish government."
