Washington (AP) -- President Donald Trump is defending his call to a fallen soldier`s widow, saying he was "respectful" and did not forget the slain soldier`s name.
Trump addressed the call on Twitter Monday after Myeshia Johnson, La David Johnson`s widow, appeared on ABC`s "Good Morning America.
" She said that in Trump`s call to her last week he "couldn`t remember my husband`s name.
" Johnson added: "The only way he could remember my husband`s name was he told me he had my husband`s report in front of him and that`s when he actually said La David.
" On Twitter, Trump said: "I had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Sgt.
La David Johnson, and spoke his name from beginning, without hesitation!" Johnson and three comrades died Oct.
4 in Africa in an attack.
