The State Department denied reports Thursday that Obama-era officials were systematically removing the word genocide in reference to the slaughter of Christians by ISIS from official documents.
State Department press secretary Heather Nauert told reporters Thursday that it is "categorically false" that officials removed references to genocide against Christians and Yazidis from documents.
"We have looked through documents ourselves—the word genocide is in there—that has not been removed," she said, adding that Tillerson "firmly believes" that Christians and Yazidis were victims of ISIS genocide.
