Summary
A Democratic congressional aide told Fox News that Linick was investigating possible misuse of a political appointee at the State Department to perform personal tasks for Pompeo and his wife.Trump fired Linick on Friday night, saying in a letter to Congress that he no longer had confidence in the State Department IG -- who was appointed during the Obama administration and had overseen reports critical of the department’s policies since Trump took office.Fox News learned in October 2019 that Linick had hosted a closed-door briefing on the Ukraine investigation for congressional committee aides that examined communications between Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and fired Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin and current Prosecutor-General Yuriy Lutsenko.Before that, his office had raised concerns about then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPLinick’s removal continues a series of changes among the government’s inspectors general.
