Soon after the president announced via tweet the secretary of states firing, the White House said Tillerson had known since Friday that he was soon to be removed.
Following the White Houses comments, however, the State Department made its own statement. Steve Goldstein, the departments fourth-highest-ranking official and a spokesman for its secretary, said Tillerson had no prior knowledge of his termination. He was fired, as Maddow noted, the same day as he made his comments.
