A grieving military father says Trump offered him $25,000 after his son was killed and didn't follow
Follow through (originally a Wash post story)
President Donald Trump hasn't followed through on his offer to give $25,000 to a military father whose son was killed, The Washington Post reported.
A White House spokeswoman told The Post that the check had been sent.
Separately, Trump has feuded with a congresswoman over her account of a call he made to the widow of another soldier.
A grieving military father told The Washington Post that President Donald Trump offered him $25,000 after his son was killed but that the president didn't follow through.
Chris Baldridge's son, Army Sgt. Dillon Baldridge, was killed in June during a suspected insider attack by an Afghan police officer.
During a call with the president, The Post reported on Wednesday, Trump offered to write Baldridge a personal check for $25,000 and said he would work to establish an online fundraiser for the family. Neither has yet happened, Baldridge told The Post.
"I could not believe he was saying that, and I wish I had it recorded because the man did say this," Baldridge said. "He said, 'No other president has ever done something like this,' but he said, 'I'm going to do it.'"
