WASHINGTON _ Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's wife, Susan, was at the center of an ongoing investigation by the State Department Inspector General's office, according to a transcript of a congressional interview with fired State Department Inspector General Steve Linick released on Wednesday.
The investigation was continuing at the time of Linick's firing on May 15 and should still be ongoing _ unless the secretary of state or the acting inspector general, Stephen Akard, puts a stop to it, the former IG said.
Susan Pompeo is referenced 23 times in the 253-page transcript of the seven-hour-long Linick interview with the House Foreign Affairs and Oversight committees last week.
