wilson heard part of the conversation on speakerphone.president's comments saying that's not something that you say to a grieving widow. the soldier was one of four of u.s. soldiers killed by enemy fire in an ambush in niger earlier this morning. the president said the congress woman fab rated what i said to the wife of a soldier who died in action. and i have proof. sad. congress may start taking action on the ground work for an overall of the tax system. it would reduce the number of tax brackets for individuals and cut the corporate tax rate significantly. the white house is aggressively promoting the plan. but democrats say most middle class americans don't like what they're hearing about the proposal. >> if we get tax reform done this year, it would be extraordinary. >> they don't know the half of it in terms of this plan. >> there could be a deal on capitol hill where republicans agree to reinstate payments to insurance companies under the affordable care act in exchange for democratic support of the president's tax plan. >>> the ti

the democratic congresswoman, who was listening on speakerphone, says mr.rump did not say his name and said "he knew what he signed up for." the soldier is sergeant la david johnson, killed along with three other americans in niger. he leaves behind a wife, two young children and a third child on the way. the woman who raised johnson confirms the congresswoman's account was very accurate. cnn's sarah murray has more. >> reporter: the commander in chief sparking controversy, facing criticism for his handling of one of his most sol hem duties, a condolence call to the widow of a u.s. serviceman killed in niger. >> i had a very nice conversation with what sounded like a lovely woman. did not say what the congresswoman said. >> reporter: the president disputing the account that he told the widow that her husband knew what he signed up for, but i guess it still hurts. sergeant la david johnson was killed in an isis attack in niger in early october. the account of the conversation came from congresswoman fredricka wilson, a florida democrat who was present for tr

and trump attacked her because the widow put her on speakerphone and allowed that congresswoman and it feels disgusting as americans to have any of the private grief, to see our president mishandling it at all. it's inconceivable, that trump may have directed the publication of these private matters. the only reason this is being discussed in any political context at all. is because the president still will not talk about what happened in niger, and how and why these american troops lost their lives there. we knew from reporting from politico that a statement was prepared for him to give the day after the deaths happened in niger. he hasn't given that statement, he still won't talk about it. after two weeks of ignoring those deaths, the president exerted public pressure on that matter into instead this discussion and attacks about notifications and condolences for the bereft. the only reason that public discussion has happened now for four days, with all the emotional strain it has called to the country is because of the president's diversion away from something that happened in niger.
