WASHINGTON — Exxon Mobil Corp. acknowledges it lost months worth of communications from an alias email account that former CEO Rex Tillerson used to discuss climate change. At a court hearing Wednesday, a New York state judge ordered Exxon to turn over additional documents as part of the investigation and cooperate with Schneiderman’s office in tracking down the lost emails, according to Reuters. A lawyer for Schneiderman’s office described the revelation of lost Tillerson emails as a “bombshell,” Reuters reported. Exxon spokesman Alan Jeffers said the company doesn’t expect its court-ordered production of documents will be “significantly impacted” by the email issue. “Many of the emails” from the Wayne Tracker account were sent to other Exxon employees and can be recovered, he said.
