From ABC News:
President Donald Trump has fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, tweeting this morning that he plans to replace him with CIA Director Mike Pompeo.
Trump asked Tillerson to step aside Friday, a senior White House official told ABC News today, but the State Department says Trump never spoke to Tillerson about the decision.
Trump wanted to make sure he had a team in place before the recently announced talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the official said.
Trump believes he works well with Pompeo and the decision to replace Tillerson was not based on any single issue, the official said.
