Confirmed: State Dept IG Steve Linick was also looking into Trump’s emergency declaration to sell arms to Saudi Arabia.

Wow this from @RepEliotEngel: “I have learned that the Office of the Inspector General had opened an investigation into Secretary Pompeo. Mr. Linick’s firing amid such a probe strongly suggests that this is an unlawful act of retaliation.”

More: The IG was investigating possible misuse of a political appointee at the State Department to perform personal tasks for Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his wife, a Democratic congressional aide tells me.
