Heated Exchange in Private Meeting

Sen. Bill Cassidy told reporters the president challenged him about the vote and the two raised their voices. Cassidy said he matched Trump's tone, admitted "I lost my temper, that's not appropriate – it's the Irish in me," and defended pressing for more transparency after what he called unmet objectives in the Iran campaign.

Cassidy noted that he and senators Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul and Susan Collins joined Democrats to pass the measure requiring the president to end the war or seek congressional approval. He argued the American people deserve clearer answers about the conflict's goals and timeline.
