Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo defended former President Donald Trump in the wake of his new indictment related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Pompeo slammed President Joe Biden's administration on Wednesday, accusing it of violating one of the country's founding principles.

"Blind justice, with no favor based on political party, is one of our most important Founding principles," he tweeted. "The Biden Administration has turned this on its head."

A federal grand jury indicted Trump on Tuesday on four new charges brought by special counsel Jack Smith, including conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

Trump called the indictment unprecedented and thanked his supporters. Prior to the indictment, he claimed on Truth Social that the charges weren't brought sooner to ensure that they would affect his presidential campaign.

Earlier this year, it was thought that Pompeo might enter the race for the Republican nomination for president in 2024, alongside figures such as Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, and former Vice President Mike Pence, who all entered the race.

However, Pompeo announced on Fox News in April that he decided against a White House bid. "I’ve been blessed to have the opportunity to advance America in a way that fit the time and the moment. This is not that time or that moment for me to seek elected office again," he told host Bret Baier.

Pompeo has not made an endorsement in the 2024 race. But that doesn't mean support for Trump is entirely off the table.

He has been willing to publicly critique Trump, albeit carefully. In June, he addressed new revelations about classified documents at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence. “Trump had classified docs when he shouldn’t have had them, and when given the opportunity to return them, he chose not to do that," he explained.

"That’s inconsistent with protecting America’s soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines ... if these allegations are true, some of these were pretty serious, important documents," he added.

But his choice not to run against the former president points to the possibility of some remaining loyalty to Trump.

And he isn't entirely fond of all of the former president's competitors either.

Pompeo had harsh words for Haley while discussing her time in the Trump administration earlier this year. "Some of us stuck it out ... Some came in, punched their ticket, and went on. And for those who made that decision, I just don’t have any time,” he said in February.

"The facts suggest that [Haley] left some two years into the administration ... There was still an enormous amount of work to do," he said in a shot at the former South Carolina governor.

It's unclear whether Trump would consider Pompeo for a role in a new administration.
