WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, today released the following statement after an hour-long meeting with Mike Pompeo, President Donald J. Trump’s nominee to serve as secretary of state.
“Director Pompeo and I had a very good meeting today," said Corker. “I was very impressed with him and his knowledge base and appreciated the opportunity to understand his world view. As I shared with him, our committee will move through the nomination process as expeditiously as possible."
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee expects to hold a hearing on the Pompeo nomination in April.
