Secretary of State Mike Pompeo talked about a number of topics, including Iran, Egypt, China, Hong Kong, and Ukraine, in a press briefing at the State Department. The secretary called out China on a number of human rights abuses outlined in leaked documents regarding China's crackdown on Muslim minorities in the Xingjiang region. Secretary Pompeo was also asked whether or not there should be investigations into allegations that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 election. "Anytime there is information that indicates that any country has messed with American elections, we not only have a right, but a duty, to make sure we chase that down," he said. Additionally, the secretary was asked about President Trump's tweet early in the day that he would like Secretary Pompeo to testify before Congress in the impeachment inquiry. "When the time is right, all good things happen," said Secretary Pompeo.
