Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his wife, Susan, violated ethics rules by misusing federal resources for personal benefit, according to the findings of an investigation by the State Department’s internal watchdog. The inspector general recommended the State Department clarify its guidance on whether federal funds can be used in this manner. The State Department said it would implement all of the recommendations. Pompeo told investigators that requests made of State Department staffers were often small tasks. Many of the requests from Pompeo and his wife were carried out by a longtime family assistant who served within the State Department as a senior adviser.
