welcome to the "overnight news." i'm tony dokoupil. president trump find himself in the center of a political firestorm over the combat death of a u.s. soldier. sergeant ledavid johnson and special forces unit came under attack in the african nation of niger earlier this month. johnson and three others were killed. two more troops were wounded. president trump waited two weeks to offer his condolences to johnson's family according to them mr. trump said he knew what he signed up for the president denies saying that. meanwhile there are more questions than answers about the deadly battle itself. david martin begins our coverage.
