Quote:Major Trump fundraiser and UAE-linked businessman Elliott Broidy met US President Donald Trump in October 2017 and urged him to sack Mr Tillerson, the emails reveal.As Tillerson seems one of the better members of Trump's team (which I accept is a relative assessment), and the Middle East is not being well held by Trump so far, then it seems this had better be a storm in a beer mug rather than an indication of the ugly underneath of the iceberg.
In other emails, he calls the top US diplomat "a tower of Jello", "weak" and says he "needs to be slammed".
Mr Broidy says Qatar hacked his emails.
He said some of the emails "may have been altered" but did not elaborate.
