Washington Post publisher blasts Pompeo’s book for ‘vile’ Khashoggi ‘falsehoods’

Fred Ryan says former secretary of state Mike Pompeo ‘outrageously misrepresents’ murdered Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi

The publisher of the Washington Post, Fred Ryan, has blasted former secretary of state Mike Pompeo for “outrageously misrepresenting” and “spreading vile falsehoods” about Jamal Khashoggi, the Post columnist murdered by the Saudi Arabian regime in 2018.

“It is shameful that Pompeo would spread vile falsehoods to dishonor a courageous man’s life and service and his commitment to principles Americans hold dear as a ploy to sell books,” Ryan said.
