The State Department plans to investigate a potential spying operation waged against an ex-U.S. ambassador.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo committed to investigating evidence of a surveillance operation against former Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch on Friday, according to CNN. The possibility of a surveillance operation was raised on Tuesday after House lawmakers released copies of messages between Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas and GOP congressional candidate Robert Hyde.
