Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with Pope Francis in Vatican City. They reaffirmed 'commitment to advancing religious freedom around the world' and discussed continued efforts 'to promote democracy and human rights globally,' a spokesperson said.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met privately with Pope Francis and visited his ancestral home in southern Italy on Thursday as the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump roiled Washington.
There was no indication that Pompeo, an evangelical Christian, sought any type of spiritual solace from Pope Francis during their meeting, which took place on the third day of his visit to Italy, the first stop of a four-nation tour of Europe. Afterward, Pompeo made the two-hour drive from Rome to Pacentro, in Italy’s Abruzzo region. Pompeo’s paternal grandfather came from the small town of roughly 1,000 residents, where locals say his last living relative died some 30 years ago.
Giuliani has said he was pressing Ukrainian officials to investigate the son of one of Trump’s political rivals, former Vice President Joe Biden, for corruption over his dealings with a Ukrainian energy company. Giuliani has shown text messages with Volker that he says prove the State Department was aware of and endorsed his push.
