多方消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，周三，唐纳德·特朗普总统在与共和党参议员的会晤中与路易斯安那州参议员比尔·卡西迪发生冲突，原因是参议院周二通过的战争权力决议——这是对特朗普的罕见指责，有四名共和党人与民主党人一起投票。
多个消息来源将川普和卡西迪之间的冲突描述为一场大喊大叫的比赛。参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩(John Thune)试图干预以缓和局势，其他参议员试图介入以缓解该决议引发的紧张局势，该决议旨在限制特朗普在伊朗发动战争的能力，但不具有法律效力。
卡西迪是与民主党一起投票支持众议院本月早些时候通过的决议的四名共和党参议员之一。这些投票加上两名共和党人的缺席，使该决议以50比48的票数通过。
据多方消息称，川普曾一度称卡西迪为“疯子”。当被美国广播公司问及此事时，卡西迪没有否认。
消息人士称，特朗普也对缺席感到不安。
特朗普短暂停下来与记者交谈，称会议“真的很棒”，但他没有评论闭门讨论的内容。
“我认为我们开了一次非常棒的会议，我们为这次聚会感到非常自豪。我们喜欢我们的领袖，我们喜欢房间里的每一个人，”特朗普说。“我不喜欢几个人，但没事。我想你知道他们是谁，但我们——我会给你，有一天我会给你这个信息，但在大多数情况下，我们有一个真正统一的政党，我非常强烈地说。”
房间里的两个人说卡西迪称总统为“兄弟”，但是总统告诉参议员他不是他的兄弟。
周三晚上，卡西迪在社交媒体上发表帖子说，他收到了副总统万斯和特使史蒂夫·维特科夫关于伊朗的“全面简报”，并对两位官员表示感谢。
“我很感谢白宫迅速邀请我解决我的许多问题，”卡西迪在邮报中说。
早些时候，卡西迪承认他对川普发了脾气。
他问为什么会有人投票支持战争权力法案?他继续说，我说，“这是一个反问，还是你真的想知道?”他说，“我想知道。我站起来说，你还没有告诉美国人民发生了什么。它应该持续四周。已经持续四个月了。我们最初的目标没有实现，我想知道发生了什么，”卡西迪说。
“但这正是我一直在说的，”卡西迪继续说道。“我投票支持战争权力，直到我得到一份简报，据我回忆，在这一点上，他没有特别在意我的评论，提高了声音，我发脾气，这是不恰当的，这是我的爱尔兰人，但我再次配合他的语气和音量，这是来回。但在某个时候，我的人说，‘没关系，比尔，坐下’，于是我坐下来，试图缓和气氛。”
卡西迪说，他没有因为反抗总统而道歉。
“美国人民只需要知道伊朗发生了什么，我认为国会和美国人民没有分享足够的信息。这就是我的信息，”他说。
当被问及是否后悔会议变得如此激烈时，卡西迪说:“不，当我试图改变时，我不想被人欺负。为了美国人民，”他说。“这不是关于我，也不是关于总统，这是关于美国人民知道正在发生什么，现在就像是不同的人在告诉我们不同的事情。
“他可能是对的。卡西迪说:“我只是认为需要有更多的让我们开诚布公，当我为美国人民辩护时，我不会被胁迫保持沉默。”。
卡西迪是第一个任期内投票支持弹劾特朗普的七名共和党参议员之一，他在5月份的连任初选中输给了特朗普招募的一名候选人。
卡西迪在会上说，川普挖苦了他的损失。
“你知道，特朗普总统怎么说?你知道，“哦，你落选了，”之类的话。你知道，无论你知道什么，都会想到去贬低另一个人。”
Trump and Cassidy clash over war powers vote in meeting with Republican senators
President Donald Trump clashed with Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy in a meeting with Republican senators on Wednesday, multiple sources told ABC News, over thewar powers resolutionpassed Tuesday in the Senate -- a rare rebuke of Trump that saw with four Republicans voting with Democrats.
Multiple sources described the clash between Trump and Cassidy as a shouting match. Senate Majority Leader John Thune tried to intervene to de-escalate the situation and other senators tried to jump in to ease tensions over the resolution, which aims to limit Trump's ability to wage war in Iran but does not have the force of law.
Cassidy was one of four GOP senators who voted with Democrats in favor of the resolution that the House had passed earlier this month. Those votes along with two Republican absences allowed the resolution to pass by a 50-48 vote.
At one point, Trump called Cassidy a "lunatic," according to multiple sources. Cassidy did not dispute that when asked by ABC News.
Trump was also upset about the absences, sources said.
Briefly stopping to talk to reporters, Trump said the meeting was "really great," though he did not comment on what was discussed behind closed doors.
"I think we had a really great meeting, and we're very proud of the party. We like our leader, we like everybody really in the room,"Trumpsaid. "I don't like a few people, but that's OK. I think you know who they are, but we -- I'll give you, I'll give you that information someday, but for the most part, we have a really well unified party, and I said it very strongly."
Two people in the room said Cassidy referred to the president as "brother," but the president told the senator that he was not his brother.
In a post on social media on Wednesday night, Cassidy said he received a "thorough briefing" on Iran from Vice President JD Vance and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and thanked both officials.
"I appreciate the quick invitation to the White House to address many of my concerns," Cassidy said in the post.
Earlier, Cassidy admitted that he lost his temper with Trump.
"He asked why would anybody vote for the War Powers Act? As he continued, I said, 'is that a rhetorical question, or would you like to really know?' He said, 'I'd like to know.' I stood and said, 'You have not told the American people what's going on. It was supposed to last four weeks. It's lasted four months. Our original objectives have not been achieved, and I want to know what's going on,'" Cassidy said.
"But that's kind of what I've been saying all along," Cassidy continued. "I'm voting for war powers until I get a briefing, at which point, as I recall, he did not particularly care for my comments, raised his voice, I lost my temper, that's not appropriate, it's the Irish in me, but I again matched his tone and his volume, and it went back and forth. But at some point my guy said, 'It's alright, Bill, sit down,' and so I sat down and tried to de-escalate."
Cassidy said he made no apologies for standing up to the president.
"The American people just need to know what's going on with Iran, and I don't think there's been sufficient information shared with Congress or with the American people. So that was my message," he said.
Asked if he regretted how heated the meeting got, Cassidy said, "No, I'm not going to be bullied when I'm trying to ge. for the American people," he said. "This is not about me, it's not about the president, it's about the American people knowing what's going on,and right now there's just like it seems like we're being told different things by different people.
"He may be right. I just think there needs to be more kind of let's be open about it, andI'm not going to be bullied into silence when I'm sticking up for the American people," Cassidy said.
Cassidy, who was one of seven Republican senators to vote for Trump's impeachment in his first term, lost his primary for re-election in May against a candidate Trump recruited to run against him.
Cassidy said in the meeting Trump made a dig at his loss.
"You know, what does President Trump say? You know, 'Oh, you lost the election,' that sort of thing. You know, whatever you know comes to mind as to demean another person."
