Pompeo cancels Europe trip after reports of ‘snub’
US secretary of state planned to meet Nato officials and European leaders

Jan. 12 - 
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is cancelling his final trip to Europe this week and will stay in Washington for the “completion of a smooth and orderly transition” to the administration of president-elect Joe Biden.

The State Department announced on Tuesday that all travel would be cancelled, including Mr Pompeo’s trip to Brussels where he was due to meet Nato officials.


“We are expecting shortly a plan from the incoming administration identifying the career officials who will remain in positions of responsibility on an acting basis until the Senate confirmation process is complete for incoming officials," the department said.

"As a result, we are cancelling all planned travel this week, including the secretary’s trip to Europe."   more details




Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) listens during the nomination hearing of Kelly Craft, President Trump's nominee to be Representative to the United Nations, before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on June 19, 2019.
Cruz Office’s Contact Info Written In Note Found In Indicted Pro-Trump Rioter’s Truck


Jan 12 - Phone numbers belonging to two of Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) offices appeared to be listed as contact information in a note found in a truck belonging to Lonnie Coffman, who has been indicted for allegedly carrying unregistered firearms and 11 Molotov cocktails in that same vehicle during the pro-Trump insurrection last week.

New court documents that include photos of the truck and the items found inside the vehicle show a Motel 6 magazine with “Senator Ted Cruz” handwritten on the back next to two phone numbers. When called by TPM, the numbers connect to Cruz’s offices in D.C. and Central Texas.

The GOP senator’s name and numbers are written underneath “Conservative Talk Show Host Mark Levin” and “Shaun Hannity,” the latter appearing to be Fox News host Sean

The magazine found in the truck belonging to Coffman also included other scribblings, one with information about “elected representatives” — one of whom is described as a “Muslim” — and another that labeled a judge as a “bad guy.”
Cruz’s office did not immediately respond to TPM’s inquiry.

The Texas Republican has been slammed with calls to resign for fueling President Donald Trump’s attempt to delegitimize the election with inflammatory lies about voter fraud, which led directly to the violent insurrection that resulted in five deaths.     more details
