Trump claimed on Monday that his predecessors, particularly President Barack Obama, didn’t call the families of fallen troops, as he said he has done. “I don’t know what [President George W.] Bush did, I don’t know what Obama did,” Trump then admitted to Kilmeade. An unnamed White House official told Fox News’ John Roberts that the former president did not call Kelly after his son was killed. Kelly attended a Gold Star families event held at the White House in 2011, according to White House visitor records. This article has been updated with more details on contact between the Obama White House and Kelly.
