Donald Trump calls out Rand Paul over Pompeo nomination

Donald Trump said that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has "never let me down," despite the Kentucky Republican's opposition to Trump's nominee for secretary of state, Mike Pompeo. "I will say this about Rand Paul: He's never let me down," Trump told reporters from his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, when he was asked about Paul's steadfast opposition to the CIA director becoming the nation's next top diplomat. "Rand Paul is a very special guy as far as I'm concerned. He's never let me down." After the President's comments, Paul told reporters on Capitol Hill that Trump called him a "few minutes ago" and asked for him to meet with Pompeo and he will.
