01 · THE DISPATCH

A familiar source described the meeting to i24NEWS as marked by shouting exchanges between the president and several senators, with demands for clarification on the Iran memorandum of understanding. 'It was crazy,' the source said.

Earlier Wednesday night, at a separate closed-door GOP meeting, Trump clashed with Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), telling him he was not being honest with the American public about the war with Iran, as i24NEWS reported. The current Thursday meeting follows that confrontation and appears to involve a broader group of senators.

The specific contents of the MOU in question have not been detailed by the source, and it remains unclear whether the meeting covered additional topics. The White House has not yet commented on the reported altercation.
