Now our mission, the State Department mission, is to do everything we can using economic power, diplomatic power – all the tools available to us – to ensure that Turkey doesn't do what Erdogan has said that they just may do.

We're going to do everything we're lawfully required to do. by Mike Pompeo

We're going to do everything we're lawfully required to do.

The State Department sent a letter last night to Congress, which is our initial response to the document request. We will obviously do all the things we are required to by law.

This is what's wrong, when the world doesn't focus on the things that are right, the things that matter, the things that impact real people's lives and instead you get caught up in silly gotcha game?

There remains to be a lot of work that's to be done by the two teams.

What we objected to was the demands that were put that deeply violate fundamental principles of the separation of powers, they contacted State Department employees directly and told them not to contact legal counsel at State Department. Lawmakers from theForeign Affairs, Intelligence and Oversight committees moved forward with testimony from their first key witness Thursday --- former U.S. envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker, who resigned last week after receiving word his name had surfaced in the whistleblower complaint. Text messages released by Kurt Volker to Congress show U.S. officials involved with Ukraine arguing internally last month over whether Trump was engaged in a quid pro quo. Fox News on Friday also obtained Kurt Volker prepared testimony, in whichhe details Kurt Volker interactions with Rudy Giuliani lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who was probing whether Burisma had sought to garner influence with Joe Biden by paying high fees to Joe Biden son. A memorandum of the July 25 call between Rudy Giuliani and Zelensky released last month showed that while Rudy Giuliani sought a Ukrainian probe into the Joe Biden family, Rudy Giuliani did not explicitly use the $ 400 million in military aid as leverage.

We will certainly talk to the EU... We will do our best to accommodate each country.

I was on the phone call. by Mike Pompeo

I was on the phone call.

I'd been a secretary of state for coming on a year and a half. I know precisely what the American policy is with respect to Ukraine. It's been remarkably consistent, and we will continue to try to drive those set of outcomes.

You just gave me a report about a( intelligence community) whistleblower complaint, none of which I've seen.

From what I've seen so far, each of the actions that were undertaken by State Department officials was entirely appropriate.

To the best of my knowledge and from what I have seen so far, each of the actions that were undertaken by State Department officials was entirely appropriate.

This attack was part of the Assad regime's ongoing violent campaign in Idlib, which has killed more than 1,000 innocent Syrians and displaced hundreds of thousands more, it is also the latest instance in a long pattern of Assad's chemical weapons attacks that have killed or wounded thousands of Syrians.

The more Iran lashes out the greater our pressure will and should be, that path forward begins now with two new actions.

And we are telling China, and all nations: know that we will sanction every violation.

I've talked to the foreign minister now a couple of times. We talk about the important relationship between our two countries and how we can make Ukraine stronger and have great economic commerce between our two great nations.

Recent bellicose moves by the Venezuelan military to deploy along the border with Colombia as well as the presence of illegal armed groups and terrorist organizations in Venezuelan territory demonstrate that Nicolas Maduro not only poses a threat to the Venezuelan people, Nicolas Maduro actions threaten the peace and security of Venezuela's neighbors, catastrophic economic policies and political repression continue to drive this unprecedented refugee crisis, straining the ability of governments to respond.

Our mission set is to avoid war, you saw what Secretary Esper announced on Friday, we are putting additional forces in the region for the purpose of deterrence and defense.

If that deterrence should continue to fail, I am also confident that President Trump would continue to take the actions that are necessary.

This was an Iranian attack, it's not the case that you can subcontract out the devastation of five percent of the world's global energy supply and think that you can absolve yourself of responsibilities.
