[quote]Asked whether the White House had a recording of Trump's call with the widow, Myeshia Johnson, Sanders said it didn't.

Wilson claimed in interviews that Trump crassly told Johnson on the call that her husband, Sgt. La David T. Johnson, “knew what he signed up for.” Wilson also said the widow was dismayed that Trump didn't even seem to know Johnson's name. David Johnson's mother confirmed the account to The Washington Post, but Trump disputes it.

While declining to talk about the specifics of their conversation, Sanders assured that it was “completely respectful, very sympathetic” and that Trump “expressed .?.?. condolences.” She also appeared to confirm at least one claim Wilson had made, saying, [b]“Just because the president says ‘your guy’ doesn’t mean he doesn’t know his name.”

Sanders cited the presence of chief of staff John Kelly when asked for proof that Trump did not tell the widow of Army Sgt. La David Johnson that "he knew what he signed up for."

“No," she said when asked if there is a recording. "But there were several people in the room from the administration on the call," including Kelly, she said.

Sanders later added that Kelly, whose son was killed in acton in 2010, supported the president's comments.
[b]
"Gen. Kelly was present for the call and thought it was completely appropriate. He thought the call was respectful and he thought that the president did the best job [/b]he could under those circumstances to offer condolences on the part of the country," she said. [/quote]

Gen Kelly must be hating his decision to join this clown car.[/quote]
