Bill Cassidy is back in the spotlight after reportedly standing his ground in a heated, closed-door confrontation with Donald Trump over presidential war powers — a clash that followed his vote for a bipartisan resolution ordering Trump to end US military action against Iran or seek explicit congressional approval to continue it.
According to Cassidy's own account to reporters on Capitol Hill, Trump summoned Republican senators to a private meeting in Washington and demanded to know why any of them had dared to limit his authority. Cassidy pushed back, telling the president that senators had not been properly briefed and that the Iran campaign's stated objectives did not appear to be going to plan. Trump allegedly responded with a personal insult. An unnamed source claimed Cassidy ended up 'yelling' at the president. IBTimes UK cannot independently verify these claims.
