FILE - In this July 28, 2017, file photo, Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., emerges from a House Republican Conference meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington. Sen. Bob Corker is hardly the only Republican lambasting President Donald Trump and raising dark concerns about harm the president might cause the U.S. and the world. Heâs just the only one whoâs sounding off in public. Meadows criticized Corker, saying he finds âthose type of comments to not be appropriate especially coming from the chairman of the Foreign Relations committee, and certainly not in keeping with what I know of the way that things are conducted in the West Wing, having been there multiple times.â
