Back when it was first reported that President Trump might nominate CIA Director Mike Pompeo to replace Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, we noted Pompeo’s history of anti-Muslim rhetoric and his ties with the anti-Muslim groups ACT for America and the Center for Security Policy.

Now that Trump has officially ousted Tillerson and is trying to replace him with Pompeo, Right Wing Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the CIA to find out if Pompeo has maintained ties with those groups while at the agency.

As we wrote back in November:

Our FOIA request, which we submitted today, asks for copies of any correspondence or records of meetings between Pompeo and ACT for America and the Center for Security Policy while he has been at the CIA.

As Lobe Log noted yesterday, Pompeo’s “spiritual adviser” Ralph Drollinger, who runs Bible studies for members of Trump’s cabinet, also has a long record of Islamophobia. We have already filed a FOIA request with the CIA seeking information on Pompeo’s contacts with Drollinger and his Capitol Ministries organization.
