Rex Tillerson, who served as Secretary of State for little over a year during the Trump administration, will testify next week as a prosecution witness at the trial of Tom Barrack, defense lawyers said Saturday.

Barrack’s lawyers wrote to US District Judge Brian Cogan in Brooklyn, New York, on Saturday to say prosecutors informed them they intended to call Tillerson to the stand on Tuesday because scheduling conflicts make him unavailable after that date.
