Wendy Sherman, the former senior U.S. nuclear negotiator with Iran, said on Saturday she had met Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif alone, stressing such meetings are not aimed to undermine U.S. policy.
“Sec. Pompeo tried to distract from Manafort and gain points with president by attacking me today. Facts were wrong, message was wrong. I met Zarif in Munich but not with Kerry and Moniz. Met Zarif again in NY in April,” Sherman tweeted.
She added, “Like John Kerry and Ernie Moniz, I have served my country for years and find it more than offensive to have a Secretary of State not understand we are all in this together to ensure American security.”
