Trump said Sunday that he spoke with the families of the two National Guardsmen shot last week in Washington, D.C. — telling the parents of 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, who died from her injuries, and Andrew Wolfe, who is “fighting for his life,” that he wants to honor both soldiers at the White House.
