Watch live: WH holds news briefing as Trump, Corker feud reignites
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will answer reporters’ questions Tuesday afternoon after President Trump’s trip to Capitol Hill to attend the Senate GOP’s weekly policy luncheon.
Earlier Tuesday, the feud between President Trump and Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) reignited ahead of the president’s high-stakes meeting.
{mosads}The spat began when Corker offered a litany of criticisms directed toward Trump in morning television interviews. The two then battled over Twitter, with Corker saying Trump should stay out of the tax-overhaul effort on Capitol Hill and Trump accusing the Tennessee Republican of trying to stymie his agenda.
In an interview with CNN in a Senate hallway shortly after the tweets, Corker escalated his criticism, calling Trump a serial liar. He added that he regretted supporting Trump for president, accused him of debasing the country and refused to say whether he trusted Trump with the U.S. nuclear codes.
The White House news briefing is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m.
