Gold Star Widow

Nineteen days after her husband's death and two days after his wrenching burial, the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson said she has "nothing to say" to President Donald Trump, whose condolence call pulled the grieving widow into the center of a national controversy.

White House chief of staff John Kelly said Thursday that President Donald Trump "bravely" called families of four fallen soldiers, lending his credibility as a retired four-star general and the experience of losing his son in battle in defense of a president accused of politicizing tragedy.
