Mike Pompeo enjoyed a three-hour dinner at a famous NYC steakhouse last night guarded by four SUVs worth of Secret Service agents after Trump approved a $15million security upgrade following Qassem Soleimani's assassination.
The former CIA director and secretary of state, 57, enjoyed a slap-up meal with his wife Susan, 56, and several other acquaintances at Smith & Wollensky under the watchful eye of agents and NYPD officers who then escorted them back to their hotel.
Pompeo, who has a son, Nick, 30, arrived at 7pm and left around 10pm before stopping to take a photo with a lady eating outside.

The former Army officer's crucial role in the assassination of General Soleimani - who led Iran's notorious Quds Force - means he is now a prime target for a revenge attack, according to insiders.
Trump was reportedly so worried about Pompeo and his top Iran envoy Brian Hook being assassinated after they left office that he set aside $15million to protect them in his final White House days.
New details emerged about Soleimani’s assassination last month, including that the Trump administration started planning the strike almost three years before pulling the trigger in 2020, and originally wanted to wipe out a 'whole list of folks' that day.
Pompeo is said to have first created a task force of CIA leaders to 'take Qassem Soleimani off the board' almost as soon as he was appointed to his role as CIA director in January 2017.
Recently, Pompeo has played a leading role in promoting the theory that Covid was man made after leaking from a lab in Wuhan.

Recently, the former senior Trump Administration official has played a leading role in promoting the theory that Covid was man made after leaking from a lab in Wuhan
Last month, he said that Wuhan Institute of Virology was conducting secret military research and claims there is 'enormous evidence' that the virus that causes COVID-19 escaped from the lab.
He also warned that the dangerous experimentation is ongoing at the lab, raising the specter of another potentially deadly virus leak.
'What I can say for sure is this: we know that they were engaged in efforts connected to the People's Liberation Army inside of that laboratory, so military activity being performed alongside what they claimed was just good old civilian research,' Pompeo told Fox News.
'They refuse to tell us what it was, they refuse to describe the nature of either of those, they refuse to allow access to the World Health Organization. That cover-up alone suggests that there's a lot more that we need to know.
'That virology lab is still up and running. It's still probably conducting the same kinds of research it was conducting that may have well led to this virus escaping from that laboratory.'
Susan is Pompeo's second wife. He married Leslie Libert in 1986 but they later divorced (the Pompeos are seen Friday after their dinner)
