Tillerson announced Tuesday afternoon that he had spoken with President Trump earlier in the day by phone and plans to hand over his responsibilities by the end of the day to assist in a smooth transition. In a press conference Tillerson encouraged his policy planning team and undersecretaries to "remain at their post." He was ousted just four hours after returning from an Africa mission, and the Associated Press reports it took place with no face-to-face conversation with the president.
Undersecretary of State Steve Goldstein and other State Department officials had claimed Tillerson hadn't learned he was dismissed until he saw Trump's early-morning tweet. Hours later, Goldstein was fired, too.
