The US State Department is denying that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson ever called President Trump a moron.
There's been much speculation in Washington over the issue after Mr Tillerson did not categorically deny using the word when he held a news conference on the issue earlier this week.
President Trump tweeted on Thursday that Mr Tillerson never threatened to resign as some media had reported, and State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert has told reporters she believes he never denigrated the President in such a way.
