Ex-Sec. of State Rex Tillerson Quietly Meets with House Foreign Affairs Cmte.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Daily Beast is reporting former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson met
with the leaders of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Tuesday about
his time working for the Trump administration. He reportedly discussed
his tense relationship with Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared
Kushner, and Russian interference in the 2016 election. According to a
congressional aide, Tillerson told lawmakers Trump actively avoided
confronting Russia over the issue in an effort to fortify the White
House's relationship with Moscow.
