Rex Tillerson's tenure as Secretary of State has moved out of the hospital and into hospice care, as the nation waits to see when President Donald Trump will pull the plug, sources tell Newsmax.

Secretary Tillerson's voluntary departure from State was expected around the anniversary of the president's inauguration, but the decision was stalled after Secretary of Defense James Mattis and others suggested Tillerson stay on, at least for the moment.
