Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., said Wednesday that he had no idea CIA Director Mike Pompeo had a secret meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, and said Pompeo should have been more up front about it when he met with senators last week.

“I can tell you, even in his private conversations with me, he didn’t tell me about his visit to North Korea,” Menendez said at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “Now I don’t expect diplomacy to be negotiated out in the open, but I do expect for someone who is the nominee to be secretary of state, when he speaks with the committee leadership, and when he was asked specific questions about North Korea, to share some insights about such a visit.”
