The news network also reviewed a document given by the whistleblower to committee aides reportedly showing that in January, a person in Pompeo's office asked Diplomatic Security to pick up Pompeo's adult son from Washington's Union Station.

The Hill has reached out to the State Department for comment.

The special agent in charge of the Diplomatic Security Service did not deny the specific accusations reportedly made by the whistleblower in a statement to CNN, but said that he and his team did were not asked by Pompeo or his family to act in a way that is inconsistent with their jobs.

"I was head of Secretary Pompeo's security detail since his first day on the job. At no point during my service did he or any member of his family ask me or any member of my team to act in any way that would be inconsistent with our professional obligation to protect the Secretary 24-hours a day, 7-days a week," said Lon Fairchild, the agent.

The Code of Federal Regulations states that a federal employee "shall not encourage, direct, coerce, or request a subordinate to use official time to perform activities other than those required in the performance of official duties or authorized in accordance with law or regulation."

CNN reported Monday that it is unclear whether the alleged errands were requested by Pompeo or someone on his staff without his knowledge.
