This was only the beginning. Pompeo and Trump continually directed the State Department to engage in initiatives around the globe designed solely for one purpose to advance the political prospects of President Donald Trump.
Next came Ukraine. Trump’s negotiations surrounding military aid for Ukraine resulted in his first impeachment after it was reported that Trump tried to offer a quid pro quo: aid in return for dirt on Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Gordon Sondland, U.S. ambassador to the European Union, told Congress that State Department officials knew about this quid pro quo.
The complicity of the State Department means United States foreign policy was used to extort foreign powers into helping Donald Trump attack his political opponents and win reelection. Foreign countries that did not help Trump win reelection would be left to fend for themselves or in Ukraine’s case, to be fed to the Russian bear.
