"We're reminding everyone that all votes haven't been counted.  We need to make sure legal process is fully complied with," Pompeo told Fox News Channel's Special Report with Bret Baier on Tuesday.

"We will make sure that whoever is in office on on on January 20th has all tools reily available so that we don't skip a beat with capacity to keep Americans safe," he ded.

Pompeo h raised concerns earlier on Tuesday when he told reporters - with a grin - that “re will be a smooth transition to a second Trump ministration.”
