“You really don’t want outside parties to have access to that information and use it to their advantage,” Tillerson told a New York City jury. Tillerson also described one encounter with Barrack where he “called over to my office … and expressed an interest in an ambassadorship,” he said. But Trump didn’t embrace the idea, “so that was the end of it,” he said.
Barrack, 75, has pleaded not guilty to that charge, along obstruction of justice and false statements counts., abruptly ending the service of a Cabinet secretary who had reportedly called the Republican president a “moron” but refused to step down, deepening disarray within the Trump administration.
