tillerson: Trump's secretary of state at the time, Rex Tillerson, was left in the dark, according to The Guardian. Tillerson only learned of the meeting two months ago, when he was interviewed for seven hours in a closed-door session with lawyers and staffers working for the House foreign affairs committee. The pair learned of a plan by the two American allies to impose a blockade on another US ally, Qatar, according to congressional staffers. Tillerson's testimony, which was made public last week, highlighted the inner workings of the Trump administration and revealed the extent to which Kushner and to a lesser degree, Bannon, who left the administration in August 2017 were conducting a shadow foreign policy. The state department's views were never expressed. When asked how he felt about being left out of such vital meetings as America's top diplomat, Tillerson told the committee It makes me angry I didn't have a say.
