Tillerson believes Kushner was responsible for rumors of ouster: report

Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson reportedly believes that President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner was responsible for pushing rumors of his long-anticipated ouster.

The former top diplomat suggested in an interview with The New Yorker that he knows who was behind long-simmering rumors that he would be fired, but did not provide a name. Multiple sources, however, told the magazine that he believes it is Kushner.

"I know who it is," Tillerson told The New Yorker. "I know who it is. And they know I know."

Tillerson's comments came after he was unceremoniously fired by Trump in March via Twitter. Rumors of his pending dismissal had circulated for months prior to that.

His firing came amid particularly high tensions with Kushner, who has been charged with brokering a peace plan between the Israelis and Palestinians.
