\n WASHINGTON \u2014 House Democrats are launching contempt proceedings against Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, accusing him of refusing to hand over documents during impeachment proceedings and blocking an investigation into his conduct.<\/p>\n

Outgoing New York Rep. Eliot Engel, the powerful chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, made the announcement in a statement on Friday, in which he accused Pompeo of showing an \u201calarming disregard for the laws and rules governing his own conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n

The investigation comes as Pompeo faces ethical scrutiny over his decision to make a speech at this week\u2019s GOP convention from Israel while on official business \u2014 becoming the first secretary of state to do so.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Secretary\u2019s ongoing defiance of two duly authorized subpoenas on matters directly linked to American foreign policy toward Ukraine has left the Committee no further option but to begin drafting a resolution finding Secretary Pompeo in contempt of Congress,\u201d Engel said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe seems to think the office he holds, the Department he runs, the personnel he oversees, and the taxpayer dollars that pay for all of it are there for his personal and political benefit,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The committee in Sept. 2019 asked Pompeo\u2019s department to turn over documents related to the Trump administration\u2019s actions in Ukraine as part of Congress\u2019 impeachment trial but Engel said they were never produced.<\/p>\n

Last month, the committee issued another subpoena following claims the State Department had produced documents against Democratic nominee Joe Biden\u2019s son Hunter Biden, particularly his job on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma while his dad was the vice president.<\/p>\n

Acting Assistant Secretary of State Ryan Kaldahl denied the \u201cbaseless\u201d charges in a letter to Engel on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Kaldahl said the department had produced \u201cmore than 18,000 pages of documents pursuant to your investigation concerning alleged prohibited personnel practices.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also noted that the committee\u2019s request for documents related to the impeachment inquiry were deemed to \u201cconstitutionally invalid\u201d and pointed out that the case was \u201cnow-concluded.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
