Rep. Joaquin Castro blasted the speech as showing a ‘gross disregard of basic ethics’ and ‘blatant willingness to violate federal law for political gain.’

Pompeo will be speaking in his “personal capacity,” and that State Department staff are not involved and the department will not bear costs for the speech.

The letter also cites a “long-standing policy” by the State Department of “limiting participation in partisan campaigns,” including attending a “political party convention or convention-related event,” and calls Pompeo’s RNC speech an “incontrovertible” violation.
