Washington: Rex Tillerson has all but vanished from the State Department's website
as his unceremonious firing by tweet took effect over the weekend.
The
"Secretary of State Tillerson" link on the department's homepage
disappeared overnight yesterday and was replaced with a generic
"Secretary of State" tab.
When clicked, it leads to a page that
informs visitors that Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan became
"acting Secretary of State on April 1, 2018."
Links that had connected to Tillerson's speeches, travels and other events now display those of Sullivan.
The link to Tillerson's biography as the 69th secretary of state returns a "We're sorry, that page can't be found" message.
President Donald Trump fired Tillerson in a Twitter post on March 13 but his departure did not become official until March 31.
