Senator Bob Corker (@SenBobCorker) October 8, 2017
Todd Womack, Sen. Corkers chief of staff, contradicted the presidents version of events. Trump actually called Corker on Friday asking him to reconsider his decision not to run for re-election, and offering his support if he chose to do so, according to Womack.

As chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Corker brokered a bipartisan deal in April 2015 allowing a congressional review of then-President Barack Obama s nuclear deal with Iran.
But Corker helped lead an effort to use congressional review to kill the agreement. The Iran deal went on to survive a GOP effort to kill it in the Senate thanks to a Democratic filibuster , not the support of Corker or any other Republican.
Since Trumps election, however, Corker has counseled Trump to radically enforce the agreement rather than tear it up.
