WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump on Thursday told the mother of a young female soldier killed at the Fort Hood, Texas, military base that the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Army were investigating her death.
“We didn’t want this swept under the rug,” Trump told the mother of Vanessa Guillen during a meeting in the Oval Office. “They’re doing a very strong investigation … We’ll get to the bottom of it.”
