Claims Bob Corker 'begged' for his endorsement; Corker's office says Trump asked him to run
In a series of morning tweets, Trump claimed Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) had 'begged' for his re-election endorsement, said he told Corker 'NO,' claimed Corker asked to be Secretary of State, and said Corker 'didn't have the guts to run.' Corker's chief of staff Todd Womack disputed the account on the record, saying Trump had called Corker days earlier to ask him to reconsider his retirement and reaffirmed he would endorse him. Corker responded on Twitter that 'the White House has become an adult day care center.' The exchange followed Corker's public warnings about Trump's conduct and marked an open attack on a sitting senator of his own party whose vote his agenda required.
