Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who served in the first Trump administration, appears to be campaigning for a return to his old job. A former Republican Congressman from Kansas—who also served a stint as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) under President Donald J. Trump—faces a steep hurdle in seeking out a job in the new administration. Pompeo, along with several other former Trump allies, legitimized the Biden government’s lawfare campaign against Trump in an effort to put distance between themselves and the former and future president of the United States.

“It’s good that the weaponized Jack Smith cases are being dropped, but they never should have been brought in the first place,” Pompeo wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, adding: “This was a gross abuse of power and politicization of the Justice Department.”

However, the former Secretary of State sang a very different tune in 2023 when Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ)—and its special counsel Jack Smith—moved to indict Trump over allegations he mishandled classified documents.
“If the allegations are true, and there’s lots of indications that they are, President Trump had classified documents where he shouldn’t have had them, and then when given the opportunity to return them, he chose not to do that for whatever reason,” Pompeo said during an appearance on Fox News in June 2023. He continued: “I suppose we can all make mistakes and get them to the wrong place, but when somebody identifies that, you gotta turn them in. So that’s just inconsistent with protecting America’s soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines, and if the allegations are true, some of these were pretty serious, important documents. So that’s wrong.”
