"Unprecedented and wrong": Mike Pompeo slammed for address to GOP convention from Jerusalem

President Donald Trump's reelection campaign announced Sunday that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will address this week's Republican National Convention—news that sparked swift criticism both because it's unprecedented for the nation's top diplomat to participate in this type of political event and because he will reportedlyspeak from "an undisclosed location" in Jerusalem while he's there on official travel.

Before meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Monday, Pompeo—a former congressman from Kansas who previously served as CIA director under Trump—wrote Sunday on his personal Twitter account: "Looking forward to sharing with you how my family is more SAFE and more SECURE because of President Trump. See you all on Tuesday night!"
