Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday that the State Department would look into the alleged surveillance of former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch by associates of Rudy Giuliani.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will do everything we need to do to evaluate whether there was something that took place there,\u201d he told radio show host Tony Katz<\/a>, adding that he doubts Giulianis associates were tracking Yovanovitch, who testified in the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump late last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI suspect that much of whats been reported will ultimately prove wrong, but our obligation, my obligation as Secretary of State, is to make sure that we evaluate, investigate,\u201d Pompeo remarked. \u201cAny time there is someone who posits that there may have been a risk to one of our officers, well obviously do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another interview, Pompeo said he hadnt heard about the alleged spying before this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cId never heard about this at all,\u201d Pompeo told Hugh Hewitt<\/a>, a talk radio host. \u201cUntil the story broke, I had, to the best of my recollection, had never heard of this at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he stressed in the Katz interview that his agency will work to ensure that officials, including ambassadors around the world, are safe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do our best to make sure that no harm will come to anyone, whether that was what was going on in our embassy in Baghdad last week or the work that was going on in Kyiv up and through the spring of last year when Ambassador Yovanovitch was there, and in our embassy in Kyiv even today,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

The allegations about surveillance attempt emerged on Tuesday<\/a> when House Democrats released text messages and documents suggesting Lev Parnas, an associate of Giuliani, talked about tracking Yovanovitch last year. The messages suggest he was speaking to Robert Hyde, a congressional candidate in Connecticut, who claimed to have the former ambassador under surveillance.<\/p>\n

\u201cShes talked to three people. Her phone is off. Computer is off,\u201d Hyde wrote in a message. In another message, he said, \u201cThey will let me know when shes on the move.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs stated Thursday that it would investigate the claims.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to investigate whether there were any violations of Ukrainian and international laws,\u201d the statement said<\/a>, adding that it will determine if the messages were \u201cjust bravado and fake talk in an informaRead More \u2013 Source<\/a>
