"Sargent La David Johnson's Widow Myeshia Johnson Stands Up to Donald Trump," New Yorker

In an interview on “Good Morning America,” Myeshia Johnson said that President Trump, in his condolence call to her, “couldn’t remember my husband’s name.”

Excerpt: Sargent La David Johnson's widow, Myeshia Johnson, is not done. She knew that her husband was “an awesome soldier,” and that she could tell her unborn child that he was a hero. 

But she wanted to know, among other things, why it had taken the military two days to find her husband’s body, and to understand why she had been told that he had to have a closed casket. “They won’t show me a finger, a hand. I know my husband’s body from head to toe.” 

She added, “I don’t know how he got killed, where he got killed, or anything.” 

There are larger questions about the mission in Niger, which, according to an NBC News report, may have involved operational and intelligence failures.
