Kennedy told reporters that the exchanges hadn’t come up during the meeting, despite both Corker and Trump having attended the lunch.

Trump went after Corker in a series of tweets earlier Tuesday.

“Bob Corker, who helped President O give us the bad Iran Deal & couldn't get elected dog catcher in Tennessee, is now fighting Tax Cuts ... Corker dropped out of the race in Tennesse when I refused to endorse him, and now is only negative on anything Trump. Look at his record!" Trump tweeted.

Corker fired back during an interview with CNN, saying he would not support Trump for the presidency again.

"I don't know why he lowers himself to such a low, low standard and debases our country in the way that he does, but he does," Corker said. "I think the debasing of our nation ... will be what he'll be remembered most for."
