.>> dahler: good evening. i'm don dahler. three u.s. soldiers were killed today and at least one wounded fighting america's longest war. it was apparently an insider attack in eastern afghanistan. an afghan army soldier opened fire on the americans before he was killed. the taliban is claiming responsibility releasing this photo of the man they say was the gunman. the attack comes as the trump administration is considering sending more troops to afghanistan to help fight in the-- against the taliban, al qaeda, isis, and a filated terror groups. since 2001, more than 2200 u.s. troops have died in afghanistan. more than 20,000 have been wounded. the 16-year war has cost american taxpayers more than $800 billion. president trump is following the developments in afghanistan from his golf club in bedminster, new jersey, about 50 miles west of new york city. errol barnett has the weekend white house covered. >> reporter: around midday,

president trump was briefed on the situation in afghanistan by deputy national security adviser rick waddle. the president is here spending time at his bedminister golf property after what has been a bruising week in washington. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: at the white house friday, president trump responded to former f.b.i. director james comey's testimony a day earlier. >> no collusion. no obstruction. he's a leaker. >> reporter: he forcefully denied pressuring comey to drop the michael flynn investigation and said he did not ask for his loyalty. >> i hardly know the man. i'm not going to say, "i want you to pledge allegiance." who would do that? >> reporter: mr. trump did say he was willing to speak to special counsel robert mueller about their private conversations. >> would you be willing to speak under oath to give your version of these events? >> 100%. >> reporter: but he refused to confirm or deny if there were any recordings of those discussion. >> well, i'll tell you about that maybe some time in the very near future.

>> just call it a matter. >> reporter: roughly 20 million people watched comey's testimony in front of the senate intelligence committee when he explained why he didn't report his concerns to attorney general jeff sessions. >> our judgment, as i recall, is that he was very close to and inevitably going to recuse himself for a variety of reasons. we also were aware of facts that i can't discuss in an open setting that would make his continued engagement in a russia-related investigation problematic. >> reporter: late today, we learned attorney general jeff sessions accepted an invitation to appear in front of the senate intelligence commito tuesday. there, he will address mr. comey's testimony in "the most appropriate forpum." don. >> dahler: errol barnett, thank you. protests against islamic law turned violent in seattle today. anti-sharia demonstrators were met with counter-protests. similar events were held around the country. activists say anti-sharia groups

if may is to lead the u.k. through brexit negotiations. it's a tricky deck of cards to hold, and the european union is closely monitoring, if not already capitalizing on this. it's clear they do not intend to pause negotiations with the u.k. as they deal with their own housekeeping. the election happened in the shadow of last week's terror attack in london, and along with this political turmoil, the prime minister is dealing with an ongoing terror investigation. it was revealed today that the three attackers tried to rent a bigger truck but didn't have enough money. police believe they have honed in on the entire group behind the attack, but several questions remain, including how could these attackers, some previously known to police, have slipped through intelligence? don. >> dahler: thanks, jonathan. closing arguments are set for monday in the manslaughter trial of a minnesota police officer charged in the shooting death of a black driver during a traffic stop. it comes after emotional testimony from the officer who testified he was "scared to death." here's barry petersen.
