Tillerson meets for seven hours with House Foreign Affairs panel

Former secretary of state Rex Tillerson met with lawmakers for seven hours behind closed doors on Tuesday to discuss his time in the Trump White House, a spokesman said.
Tillerson met with a bipartisan group of lawmakers and staff from the House Foreign Affairs Committee after a request from Rep. Eliot L. Engel, a New York Democrat.
“The discussion . . . covered a wide array of topics related to foreign affairs, the operations of the nation’s foreign policymaking apparatus and his tenure as Secretary of State,” according to a statement from the spokesman.
Tillerson appeared voluntarily, the representative said. Tillerson’s appearance for testimony on Capitol Hill was first reported by The Daily Beast.
The former Exxon Mobil CEO had an ignominious departure from Trump’s administration after he was fired by tweet in March 2018. He and the president disagreed broadly on foreign policy and had a series of contentious fights over personnel and policy, aides to both men said.
