Pompeo refuses to say what he and Giuliani talked about in newly disclosed calls

WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo refused to answer questions Tuesday about two phone calls he had with Rudy Giuliani, a central player in the Ukraine scandal and President Donald Trump's personal lawyer.

The State Department released emails late Friday night showing that Pompeo and Giuliani spoke by phone in late March, as Giuliani was ramping up pressure on Ukrainian officials to open two investigations that would benefit Trump politically. The documents, turned over after a court ordered the State Department to comply with a freedom of information request, do not reveal the subject or context of the two Pompeo-Giuliani conversations.

"I don't have much to say with respect to the Ukraine investigation," Pompeo said when asked during a news conference Tuesday about his conversations with Giuliani.

Pompeo's refusal to talk about his role in the Ukraine pressure campaign — which is now the subject of a House impeachment inquiry into Trump's actions — comes after other witnesses testified that he knew about and approved of Trump and Giuliani's Ukraine campaign.
