Tillerson May Face Deposition About His "Wayne Tracker" Climate Change Emails At Exxon

New York will seek to question top Exxon Mobil Corp. executives under oath as part of a probe into the accuracy of the company’s statements about climate change after discovering an email alias used by former Chief Executive Officer Rex Tillerson.

Tillerson, now U.S. Secretary of State, used the name Wayne Tracker for his secondary internal email account at Exxon, created for sending the most sensitive messages to and from company board members, including communications about the risks associated with climate change, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said Monday.

In the Exxon case, Schneiderman requested all relevant documents, including Tillerson’s Wayne Tracker emails, as he "determines which witnesses to seek testimony from as the investigation proceeds to its next logical phase," according to the filing. The existence of the secondary email account was discovered by Schneiderman’s team while reviewing other Exxon documents.

Exxon is seeking to derail probes by New York and Massachusetts into whether the company misled investors for years about the possible impact of climate change on its business.
