Eric Trump: Criticism Over Father's Call to Gold Star Widow 'Disgusting'

NEWSMAX 

President Donald Trump's son, Eric, says the criticism his father has received over his call with a Florida Gold Star widow is "disgusting," and his wife accused the media of not doing its job when reporting what the president had said.

"I think it's disgusting," Eric Trump told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" co-host Ainsley Earhardt during an interview recorded Thursday at the home he shares with wife Lara Lea and their new baby. "I think it shows the absolute worst of politics. Here is the president of the United States calling to express his condolences on behalf of an incredibly grateful nation and people turned it into a political item."

Meanwhile, Eric Trump's wife agreed, in the interview airing Friday, after Earhardt mentioned that she'd seen transcripts of the call his father made to Myeshia Johnson, the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, a Green Beret who was killed along with three fellow Green Berets in an ISIS ambush in Niger. She also insisted that what's being reported isn't what was said.
