Trump poised to oust top diplomat Tillerson — report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWASHINGTON — The White House has a plan to force out Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and replace him with CIA chief Mike Pompeo within weeks, the New York Times reports today.
The newspaper quotes unnamed senior administration officials as saying Trump has soured on Tillerson and is ready for a change at the State Department, probably around the end of the year.
Under the plan, which the paper says was developed by White House chief of staff John Kelly, Pompeo would be replaced at the CIA by Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas and an important Trump ally on national security issues.
