Former Sec of State Tillerson shows up to speak to the House Foreign Affairs Committee…. met with lawmakers for seven hours behind closed doors Tuesday to discuss his time in the Trump administration, a spokesman said.

“The discussion . . . covered a wide array of topics related to foreign affairs, the operations of the nation’s foreign policymaking apparatus and his tenure as Secretary of State,” according to a statement from the spokesman for Tillerson.
