The widow of U.S. Army Sgt. La David Johnson discussed her condolence phone call with President Donald Trump on "Good Morning America" Monday. Myeshia Johnson told George Stephanopoulos that she was "very angry" about the call and that Trump struggled to remember her husband's name. "I heard him stumbling on trying to remember my husband's name, and that’s what 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," she said. "Very upset and hurt; it made me cry even worse,” she said, adding that she has nothing to say to the president. Myeshia Johnson confirmed that Trump said her husband "knew what he was signing up for."Shortly after the interview, President Trump weighed in, tweeting: "I had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, and spoke his name from beginning, without hesitation!"La David Johnson was among four servicemen killed in the African nation of Niger earlier this month. They died when militants thought to be affiliated with the Islamic State group ambushed them while they were patrolling in unarmored trucks with Nigerien troops.Myeshia Johnson said she has yet to see her husband's body and that she has not been given a straight story about how he died. Johnson's death has become the focus of a feud between Trump and US Rep. Frederica Wilson, a Florida Democrat. Wilson said Trump had been disrespectful during a phone call he made to Johnson's widow, telling her that her late husband "knew what he signed up for, but I guess it still hurt." Wilson has said she overhead the call on speakerphone.Trump accused Wilson of fabricating her account, but a family member who also was present at the time of the call confirmed to CNN on Wednesday that Wilson's recollection of the conversation was "very accurate."White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, a Gold Star father himself, indicated Thursday that he advised Trump to offer those words. He said he was incensed that Wilson revealed details of what he deemed to be a "sacred" conversation.Trump continued the quarrel Saturday morning on Twitter, calling Wilson "wacky."
