tracker alias: But the man who used the Tracker alias, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, can be questioned and is increasingly expected to be as New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman expands his sweeping probe into whether Tillerson's former employer, Exxon Mobil, misled investors about the impact of climate change, according to The Japan Times. Schneiderman's office considers the nation's chief diplomat a central figure in a case that pits the ambitious Democrat against a Texas energy giant and has divided attorneys general nationwide. He does not exist. Republican state prosecutors from South Carolina to Utah, like Exxon's high-profile legal team, accuse the New York attorney general of abusing the power of his office to score political points with his liberal base on a politically explosive issue. We haven't gotten to the point where that's necessary, but yeah, we have the legal right to conduct depositions. It remains unclear whether Schneiderman will ultimately force Tillerson to answer questions under oath, but he told The Associated Press he has the legal authority to question the secretary of state, who served as Exxon's CEO until joining President Donald Trump's administration.
