Donald Trump has met with the family of a soldier who investigators say was killed on the Texas army base where she was stationed, saying it is a “terrible story” and that he would help with funeral expenses. The family of army specialist Vanessa Guillén, whose remains were found on 2 July following her disappearance in April from Fort Hood, rallied with several dozen supporters before the meeting with Trump, calling for justice in the case and for changes in the way the military handles sexual abuse and harassment. “It’s an incredible story. It’s a terrible story,” Trump said to the family in the Oval Office on Thursday. “So we’re going to look into it very powerfully. We already have started, as you know, and we’ll get to the bottom of it. Maybe things can come out that will help other people in a situation like Vanessa. We’ll be in touch with you constantly.” 'We are Vanessa Guillén': killing puts sexual violence in US military in focus Guillén’s family has said
