Washington (CNN) - President Donald Trump's tweets Sunday morning claiming he denied Sen. Bob Corker's request for an endorsement are false, two sources familiar with the discussions said.

Trump told Corker he was going to endorse him the day the Tennessee Republican announced his intention to retire, the sources said. "The President called the senator early last week and asked him to reconsider his decision not to seek re-election and reaffirmed that he would have endorsed him, as he has said many times," one of the sources said.

What “sources”? Did the FBI give a copy of the wiretapped private conversation to CNN?

So you admit he didn’t have the guts to run, he was largely responsible for the crappy Iran deal and that he wanted to be SOS and Trump said no...you only disagree with whether or not Trump would endorse. Ok, I don’t believe you but even if you were not lying the that’s still really damning

We have the Luther Strange example. And Trump could well have been trying to buy his healthcare or tax vote.

And why would I believe Fake News CNN? No matter what the liberal media says, President Trump is always proven right in these things anyway.

STUPID for Trump to Tweet this crap. Why bother with the outgoing loser Corker? Just help Marsha Blackburn win the spot.

He's making an example of Corker so that other recalcitrant RINOs take notice.

At first I thought you were talking about election night, but then I realized she did the same thing both nights.

If I wasn’t sure what to believe CNN being on one side means the opposite is probably true.

Let’s have NAMES of those “sources”. Otherwise it’s just more BS fake news.
