“I don’t do political contributions,” Tillerson replied, trying to sidestep the question. “I’ve found it’s not particularly healthy in the job I’m in.” He was a lifelong Republican. His wife, Renda, had paid $2,500 to go to a Trump lunch. Records show Tillerson made more than $100,000 in contributions in the 2016 election cycle, including $2,700 to Trump’s competitor Jeb Bush. Since 2000 he has made more than $400,000 in contributions.
