WASHINGTON _ Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's treatment of a longtime aide from Kansas who worked for him at the Central Intelligence Agency and then the State Department was under scrutiny by an inspector general recently fired by President Donald Trump, government sources familiar with the matter told McClatchy.
The State Department inspector general, Steve Linick, was looking into the role of Toni Porter, Pompeo's senior adviser, and whether she as a political appointee was conducting Pompeo's personal business on government time, two sources said.
Porter did not register a complaint herself to the inspector general. Rather, the investigation into her role was triggered by multiple complaints on the IG hotline, one of the sources said.
