White House chief of staff John Kelly defends Trump over widow remarks


The White House chief of staff has launched an impassioned attack on a "selfish" congresswoman who said President Trump made a war widow cry.
General John Kelly said he was "broken-hearted" by the Democrat's criticism of the president's condolence call to Sgt La David Johnson's wife.
Sgt Johnson was one of four killed in Niger by Islamist militants this month.
Gen Kelly also said he did not receive a call from President Barack Obama when his son died in Afghanistan in 2010.
