Trump Praises Pompeo for Doing 'Good Job on' NPR Reporter

Reuters

   U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday praised Secretary of State Mike
   Pompeo for his handling of a National Public Radio reporter who Pompeo
   shouted at, cursed, and called a liar after a contentious interview.

   "That reporter couldn't have done too good a job on you yesterday,"
   Trump said to Pompeo, the chief U.S. diplomat, during a presentation of
   his Middle East peace plan, prompting laughter from the crowd of
   officials and dignitaries gathered at the White House.

   "I think you did a good job on her actually," he added.

   Pompeo was interviewed on Friday by NPR reporter Mary Louise Kelly, and
   was asked repeatedly about Ukraine and how he had supported ousted U.S.
   Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch to Kyiv during a testy nine-minute
   exchange.
