Pompeo ducks questions about State’s lack of support for Yovanovitch

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo sidestepped questions about his lack of support for Marie Yovanovitch, the former ambassador to Ukraine who was abruptly recalled from her post earlier this year amid a smear campaign seeking her removal. During a news conference in Germany on Thursday, Pompeo took umbrage with an American journalist’s question posed to his German counterpart about whether Ukraine had “suffered a setback with what happened in Washington,” namely the White House’s decision this summer to block nearly $400 million in military aid meant for Ukraine.
