Top House Democrats on Monday subpoenaed four aides to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo — including the advisor who was allegedly made to walk his dog — as part of a probe into the firing of the department’s inspector general. Outgoing House Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel and House Oversight Committee chair Carolyn Maloney, both New York Democrats, fired off the subpoenas as they accused Pompeo of “stonewalling” an investigation into President Trump’s firing of watchdog Steve Linick. Linick was abruptly dismissed by Trump in May, leading to speculation he was dumped because he was involved in an ongoing investigation into whether Pompeo and his wife were misusing department resources, including tasking an employee with performing personal services like dog walking.
