Friday morning on Fox and Friends, Lara Trump, Trump’s daughter-in-law, revealed there is a way to settle this definitively. There is, according to Lara Trump, a transcript of the conversation. Lara Trump, who does not work in the White House (but does work for Trump’s campaign) has read them.

Oddly, Lara Trump’s description of the call appears consistent with Congresswoman Wilson’s account. Lara Trump, paraphrasing the conversation, says her father-in-law told Johnson “your husband went in to battle, you know, knowing that he could be injured, knowing that he could be killed.”

This tracks with what Trump Chief of Staff John Kelly, who listened to the call from the White House, said yesterday. Kelly said Trump told Johnson her husband “knew what he was getting himself into because he enlisted.” Again, this appears to confirm Wilson’s account.

If the transcript, as Lara Trump suggests, somehow vindicates Trump, why hasn’t the White House released it?
