And also trump nominating exxonmobil Ceo Rex Tillerson for secretary of state. His close ties to Vladimir Putin raising questions and abcs tom llamas at the white house with all the details for us. Good morning, tom.

Now, if tillerson is confirmed, this would totally break with tradition because hed be the first pick ever with no government or military experience to lead the state department. This as president elect trump is also asking one of his former rivals to join his administration. This morning, president elect donald trump making that much selecting exxonmobils ceo, Rex Tillerson, to be secretary of state. As a businessman, tillerson was clear about his goals on deals overseas. Im not here to represent the United States governments interests. Im not here to defend it nor am i here to criticize it. Thats not what i do. Im a businessman. Reporter tillerson has no formalxperience in government. But since taking his current role in 20, the 64yearold has brokered international dea as the leader of one of th worlds most valuable puicly traded oil companies, including deals with russia. Ive invested a lot of money, our company has invested a l of money in russia. Very successfully. Reporter tillersons glol ties especially his relationship with russian president vladir putin now under the microscope. The two seen here sharing a champagne toast, putin even honoring him with the order of friendship, one of the countrys i have a very close relationship with him. I dont agree with everything hes doing. I dont agree with everything a lot of leaders are doing. Reporter the expected cabinet appointment happening as leaders in congress break with the president elect, announcing they will investigate if russia used hackers to try and influence the election. Theres simply cannot be a partisan issue. Reporter overnight the president weighing in. I dont think there was any doubt among anybody in the media or among members of congress as to w was beidvantaged or disadvantaged by the political ssip that s being put out in drip, drip, drip fashion. Reporter this as transition sources tell abc news president elect trump has selected former Texas Governor rick perry as secretary of the department of energy. Perry, who once compared trump to cancer, also famously forgot he wanted to abolish the Energy Government i would do away with, education, the commerce and, lets see. I cant. The third one i cant, sorry. Oops. Reporter perry, who was recently on dancing with the stars, seen here with vanilla ice, was back at trump tower just yesterday for a second round of meetings. And for weeks we have been telling you president elect p his business ties, we now know that trump is actually postponing that News Conference. But last night he tweeted this, posting this on twitter. Even though im not mandated by law to do so, i will be leaving my businesses before january 20th so that i can focus full time on the presidency. Two of my children, don and eric, plus executives, will manage them. No new deals will be done during my terms in office. But, again, still so many arrangement will work out. We dont know when that News Conference will be. They have a lot to button down there, tom, thanks very much. More on this from martha gin with you on Rex Tillerson. Came well recommended from james baker, former defense secretary robert gates. Condi rice, who worked with george w. Bush. So whats the best case for him . Reporter he is a highly successful dealmaker. He does know players around the world, not just in russia and knows how to negotiate. Tillerson has said himself that the russian government knows that when he says no, he means it. And if you want to shake things up around the world and inside the state department itself, with those career diplomats, Rex Tillerson can probably do that. And if trump brings in john bolton as deputy secretary of state who has a very different view of the world than it seems trump has, he will have a kind of Good Cop Bad Cop working well. But i think we also have to point out, george, that we really dont know what trumps grand strategy or Foreign Policy really is and where he wants to go with it. We could find out at the confirmation hearings of tillerson. Tillerson also getting caught in a squeeze play, questions over ties to putin and democrats on climate change. Reporter exactly and thats another thing. We dont really know what tillerson will do with that. He had business dealings that were affected by that before. He says he certainly believes in climate change. But putin said they want a better relationship and that is going to be tougher right now because of that and because of these hacking charges. Although, so far, donald trump says he doesnt believe that. On those hacking charges, matthew dowd, the real collision coming between donald trump, the president elect and congress including republicans in congress. Well, looks what donald trump has united opposition on this whole issue, not only related to what martha said to the cabinet pick, there will be vehement does it delegitimize Donald Trumps presidency at the beginning of it . He already lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton and questions related to the election and now you have this situation which donald trump and his staff know is problematic for the integrity as he enters this office. So its going to be a big problem. Monday night when the electors meet around the country, there is some question about how many will abandon him in the course of this. You knock what difference can he make . I know him really well and took his filing years ago when he ran as a democrat when i was working at the democratic party. I think the fascinating thing about this, donald trump is nominating rick perry who wants to basically disband the energy department. Hes nominated somebody to be head of epa that wants to get rid of regulations. Hes nominated somebody as secretary of education that is against much of what the education wants to do and hes nominated somebody as health and tissue hew as much of what they want to do. He has a cabinet he put together against much of what those cabinet positions are supposed to be doing. Thanks very much. Michael. Thank you, george.

Reporter roofs video confession played in court is coldblooded. Why did you have to do it .

Is that why you chose that church . Oh, yes. Because you were looking for africanamericans . Right.
