Pompeo: 'Ludicrous' to think Trump is threat to US national security [View all]

Source: The Hill



BY JOHN BOWDEN - 01/12/19 11:27 AM EST

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says in an interview set to air Sunday that it is "ludicrous" to think that President Trump is a threat to national security.

The Cabinet official was responding to a report from The New York Times published Friday night that claimed FBI agents began investigating whether Trump was working on behalf of Russia after he fired FBI Director James Comey in 2017.
