The remarks from Pompeo came during a news conference at the State Department, after he was asked whether the department was preparing to engage with Biden’s transition team and was pressed on the potential national security risks posed by a delayed transition of power.
Pompeo, who served as CIA director at the outset of the Trump administration, also noted that he “went through a transition on the front end,” after the 2016 election. “I’ve been on the other side of this. I’m very confident that we will do all the things that are necessary to make sure that the government … will continue to perform its national security functions as we go forward,” he said.
