This morning Tennessee Senator Bob Corker joined NBC’s Today Show and saying Trump should butt out of the policy-making process regarding tax reform.
He told the Today Show, “Hopefully the White House will step aside and that let occur in a normal process.”

As you may remember, President Trump was considering Senator Bob Corker for Secretary of State before he ultimately went with Rex Tillerson. There could be a bit of bad blood here.
