Cummings: Trump Offered Support For Family Of Aide Hurt In House Fire

Rep. Elijah Cummings says that during a call from President Donald Trump, Trump asked about the congressman's special assistant, Katie Malone, who was injured in a fire at her home this month that killed six of her nine children.

"The president, one of the things he said when he first called was 'How's Katie?'" Cummings said.

Cummings said he expressed that one of Malone's chief concerns was making funeral arrangements.

"He said that he really wanted to make some type of contribution to help her out and her family and he expressed his sincere sympathy," Cummings said.

Vice President Mike Pence has also called, Cummings said. He also thanked congressional colleagues for their continued support.

Trump also wants to meet with him to discuss the price of prescription drugs, Cummings said Thursday at his Baltimore office.

Funny how these liberals rag on Trump, but man has a heart and does not forget things.

Nice way to break the ice and mend bridges.
I think the democratic naysayers will find out that he's not the monster the press makes him out to be.
Beauty and the beast. He didn't create a multi-billion dollar empire and raise several wonderful children by being an SOB.

Presidents have a team of people who set them up with talking points like this for each call.

It is of note that there's no report of Obama reaching out to the family, even though this occurred during his watch.
