Washington Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will address the Republican National Convention this week, despite just a month earlier reminding employees to"not improperly engage the Department of State in the political process," according to a cable obtained by CNN.
Pompeo's decision to address the RNC in pre-taped remarks from Jerusalem breaks with past precedent of secretaries of state not addressing political conventions and a long-standing protocol of not discussing domestic politics while abroad. It has drawn scrutiny and scorn from diplomats.
