Group files lawsuit for Mike Pompeo's emails

WASHINGTON _ A watchdog group founded by a former Obama administration attorney filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against the CIA and the State Department for Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's emails.

American Oversight said it wants to investigate whether Pompeo has been subject to inappropriate outside influence during his tenure as head of the two federal agencies. The lawsuit comes amid speculation about Pompeo's possible candidacy for the open U.S. Senate seat from Kansas in 2020.

The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, asks for records of any email communication between Pompeo and top staffers on nongovernmental email addresses and records of communication between Pompeo and Republican Sens. Marco Rubio and Tom Cotton.
