Sen. Chris Murphy corrected himself shortly after saying he does not know if Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is involved with Rudy Giuliani’s work for President Trump in Ukraine.
The Connecticut Democrat told CBS Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan that he did not know if Pompeo was directly involved in Giuliani’s work before correcting himself shortly afterward. Trump’s personal attorney and former mayor of New York City, Giuliani has been investigating potential corruption in former Vice President Joe Biden’s dealings with Ukraine during the Obama administration.
“I’ve rethought this answer,” Murphy said in a tweet after CBS tweeted out a clip of his interview. “Guiliani has been bragging about his Ukraine work since May. Pompeo didn’t stop him. Pompeo didn’t speak out. Pompeo went on TV last week and pushed new conspiracy theories.”
“Of course Pompeo was involved,” Murphy concluded.
