State Department Spox Says Secretary of State Tillerson Is ‘Taking a Little Time Off’

EXCERPT:

NAUERT: "We’ll move on."
REPORTER: "-- to Matt’s questions about the Secretary though?"
NAUERT: "OK."
REPORTER: "You said he was traveling today."
NAUERT: "Yes."
REPORTER: "His public schedule said no available appointments today. It said the same thing yesterday. Last Thursday, it listed nothing, and we know he was on Capitol Hill briefing the House. He was at the Pentagon with the President. Can you say why we’re not being told where he is?"
NAUERT: "Well, he does have the ability to go away for a few days on his own."
REPORTER: "So he’s just on vacation right now?"
NAUERT: "Just taking a little time off. He’s got a lot of work. He just came back from that mega-trip overseas, as you all well know. Many of you were there with the G-20 and his other travel as well. So he’s entitled to take a few days himself."
