WASHINGTON — A former top aide to Mike Pompeo, the secretary of state, told Congress on Wednesday that he resigned amid mounting frustrations over the Trump administration’s sidelining of career diplomats working on Ukraine policy and its failure to support them in the face of the impeachment inquiry, several people familiar with his testimony said.
“The timing of my resignation was the result of two overriding concerns: the failure, in my view, of the State Department to offer support to Foreign Service employees caught up in the impeachment inquiry on Ukraine,” Mr. McKinley said in an opening statement, according to a former colleague familiar with his testimony. “And, second, by what appears to be the utilization of our ambassadors overseas to advance a domestic political objective.”
