New documents raise questions over State Department move to rescind honor for Trump critic
Suddenly and without warning, the honor to appear at the International Women of Courage awards with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and first lady Melania Trump was rescinded -- with no explanation from the department.
"In addition, the 'error' explanation is demeaning towards those US diplomats, who had named and accepted me as an IWOC awardee, and who -- according to my knowledge -- didn't commit 'errors' in the process," she said. Aro also suggested that the matter should be investigated to expose whether her tweets critiquing Trump were the reason the award was revoked.
