Major garrett is at the white house with growing questions. Good morning. Reporter from his earliest days in Office President trump has encouraged battlefield commanders to gather more intelligence engage the enemy.

President trump ignored questions on monday about the mission in niger but general dunford denied the pentagon was withholding information. We do own the families and American People transparency and we intend to deliver that. Reporter calling it intense, he released basic details. October 3rd 12 american soldiers joined more than two dozen nigerian fighters on a Mission North of the capital. A day later the group came under attack from 50 well trained and wellequipped militants associated with or inspired by isis. Gunfire raged for more than an hour before the americans radioed for help.

Staff sergeants brian black, Jeremiah Johnson and Dustin Wright were killed in action and evacuated that evening but the body of la David Johnson wasnt recovered until two days later.

Reporter mired in a dispute with the president over his condolence call to her, johnsons widow myeshia said she has as many questions as anybody. I dont know how he got killed, where he got killed or anything. Reporter dunford said pentagon policy allows families to see the remains of a fallen loved one if they ask for it. Dunford said he didnt know if johnsons widow was denied that right but would find out. Through all of this, the white house has deferred to the pentagon investigation but pressure is building on the commander in chief to provide more answers. If he cant, to at least demand them. Thank you very much major. President trump will meet with Senate Republicans at the capitol today to lay out his priorities for tax reform. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Good morning. Reporter good morning. One of the things republicans have been mulling over is how to pay for all of these cuts they want to make to corporate and individual taxes. One idea they came up with was capping the amount workers can contribute to their 401 k s but as soon as that was reported, President Trump publicly nixed it tweeting the nk is a popular middle class tax break, it works and it stays. This bill is still being drafted so we still dont know if there will be three tax brackets or four. We dont know if the top bracket will come down or not. We also dont know who will fit into what bracket so its hard to say right now whether a middle income earner would pay the same rate they do currently or a lower one. We do know republicans have said they are not going to touch the mortgage deduction or the deduction for charitable giving. All of this however, is moot if congress does not pass a budget soon. That is a prerequisite for tax reform. And the president urged the house in a phone call over the weekend to just go ahead and pass the budget that was passed by the senate last week. But some conservatives are balking. They worry that a 1. 5 trillion price tag is just too high. Its going to add too much to the deficit. Charlie . Thank you so much. Police in tampa, florida, are intensifying their hunt for a possible serial killer. Dozens of officers are patrolling around the clock looking for anything suspicious.
