Tillerson, Trump Dismiss Reports About Sec. of State Shakeup

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson doesn't seem to be sweating the reports of his imminent ouster.

When questioned about those reports,  Tillerson said : "It's laughable.

Laughable." The New York Times first reported that the White House was  drafting a plan  to force Tillerson out of the U.S.

State Department and replace him with current CIA Director Mike Pompeo.

Tillerson most recently had to  bat down rumors  about his resignation in October, following a report that he had privately questioned Trump's intelligence.
