  • The former Secretary of State spoke at the CPAC.

He said that because America demands good leadership and the world depends on it.

Several former Trump administration officials have gone on the record to describe how disorganized the White House was. A clown car on fire running into a warehouse full of fireworks was described by the former top aide to the first lady.

He talked about the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, a top Iranian military official. The US embassy in Israel will be moved to Jerusalem.

In exchange for the country putting legal pressure on the Biden family, the eventual grounds for then- President Donald Trump's first impeachment, Pompeo held up military aid to Ukraine.

At the time of the phone call between Trump and Zelensky, Zelensky was pressured by Trump to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter over their employment on the board of the Ukrainian natural.

Russia annexed the peninsula of Crimea in the Black Sea. Russia has supported the rebels in the war against the Ukrainians. The international community still recognizes these territories as part of Ukraine. Russia denied having a military presence in the Donbas before this week.
