Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declined to answer when pressed about whether he was aware of a counterintelligence investigation into President Donald Trump launched by former FBI acting Director Andrew McCabe. Pompeo defended Trump during an appearance on NBC's Today against allegations of colluding with Russia and pushed back against claims that invoking the 25th Amendment to remove the president had been discussed within the Cabinet, but the secretary of state refused to say whether he was aware of a probe launched by McCabe in May 2017.
