The US Secretary of State caught up in the Ukraine impeachment scandal.
Mike Pompeo has a lot on his plate. He鈥檚 at the centre of the impeachment investigation into US President Donald Trump, who鈥檚 accused of breaking the law by pressuring Ukraine's president to dig up damaging information on a political rival. He鈥檚 pressuring the UK government to look again at its decision to give Chinese company Huawei a role in its 5G mobile phone network. And he鈥檚 facing criticism for refusing an extradition request relating to the death of British teenager Harry Dunn. In the week Mike Pompeo visits both the UK and Ukraine, Edward Stourton investigates the life and record of America鈥檚 top diplomat.
