>> reporter: at the pentagon, the joint chiefs of staff offered the first official account of that deadly niger, saying the intelligence did not. >> the assessment by our leaders on the ground at that time was that contact with the enemy was unlikely. >> reporter: but abc news is learning much more about what really happened in the ambush that killed four american special ops soldiers and what their mission really was. it was october 3rd when 12 u.s. soldiers and 30 nigerians set out for a reconnaissance mission. but a senior intelligence official tells abc news they were given a second mission, their new goal to kill or capture a high-value target. they were supposed to be joined by a second u.s. team that never made it. but they were told to proceed on their own. the official tells us that mission was unsuccessful but exposed the americans to the enemy. the next morning the americans are heading home when they sense something is off. a village elder is trying to stall them. suddenly, 50 militants are upon

them, armed with rocket-propelled grenades and heavy machine guns, a sophisticated attack. according to the pentagon, one hour into the fire fight, the americans called for help. >> that unit thought they could handle the situation without additional support. >> reporter: a u.s. drone arrives within minutes, unarmed but able to provide video of the ambush. 30 minutes later, french military aircraft mobilized to help. two hours into the attack, those french planes arrive on the scene to provide cover. as night falls two wounded u.s. troops are evacuated. so are the bodies of the three u.s. soldiers killed in action, but sergeant la david johnson is still missing. his body would not be recovered for another 48 hours. >> from the time the firefight was initiated until sergeant johnson's body was recovered, french, nigerian or u.s. forces remained in that area. >> reporter: congress wants answers. but some top lawmakers admit they didn't know they were there.

a hero, a great soldier and a loving father. myeshia johnson told abc news she was very angry at president trump over his comments of her husband's death. she added that congresswoman wilson's account of the call was 100% correct. and she insisted that he had a lot of trouble recalling her husband's name. >> i heard him stumbling on trying to remember my husband's name. and that were hurt me the most. because if my husband is out here fighting for our country, and he risked his life for our country, why can't you remember his name? and that what made me upset and cried even more. >> president trump immediately disputed johnson's claim saying that the conversation was respectful. he tweeted that he spoke sergeant johnson's name from the beginning without hesitation. the president is gearing up for a 12-day trip to asia next month. and ahead of that trip, mr. trump met with singapore's prime

minister who urged a diplomatic solution to the crisis with north korea. now during the president's trip, he will visit the korean peninsula, but he's unlikely to visit the demilitarized zone as other past presidents have done. a white house official says that's because of time constraints. in the meantime, the president's own personal lawyer will meet today with house investigators looking into russia's involvement in last year's election. michael collins was involved in negotiations for the trump tower. those talks ended when trump's campaign started gaining steam. in a statement last month, cohen said he had nothing to do with russia's meddling in elections. police in tampa are baffled. the city has add 1,000 streetlights to the area, and cops are advised to be extra vigilant. so far, the only connection appears to be all three victims were bus riders. abc's chuck seibertson has more. >> reporter: a packed room of worried and concerned neighbors.
