You can’t convince me there’s nothing wrong. Okay. I’m sorry. I don’t remember Joe Biden doing any of this.” Co-host…

Donald Trump got his revenge on Sen. Bill Cassidy. The Louisiana Republican says he isn’t planning to return the favor — yet. Freed from political constraints after decisively losing his battle for renomination Saturday, Cassidy could — if he chooses — gum up major parts of Trump’s agenda on Capitol Hill.

Cassidy, in multiple lengthy chats with reporters Monday around the Capitol, batted down any…
