This came from a Democratic member of Congress, not the widow of the solider, who hasn't commented publicly on the call. U.S. Army Sgt. La David Johnson was one of four U.S. soldiers killed in an ambush in Niger by 50 ISIS fighters.

When asked for comment, the White House told Local 10 News, "The president's conversations with the families of American heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice are private."
