- In an interview on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," Former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton reacted to reports that current Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was on the July 25 call with the Ukrainian president along with President Donald Trump.
- Clinton said that calls to foreign leaders are usually "highly prepared," as several departments meet and compile talking points for the president to refer to while on the call.
- However, Clinton said she believes that was not the case with the Ukraine call because "you've got a president who doesn't listen to anybody and doesn't follow instructions whatsoever."
- Clinton said Pompeo should have been "one of the very first people" to "clean up" the conduct of Trump's call with Ukraine.
