Tillerson is lying. Period. 
Trump has never, at any time or place, either acknowledged or condemned Putin's interference in the American election. Not once. Not in the US or anywhere else. He denied it as recently as yesterday. 
So, Tillerson would have us believe that Trump finally saw the light?
Come on.
It's payback time, and Putin is laying out exactly what he wants in return for his part in getting Trump elected. And it'll be a huge, bigly reward. Believe me.
