President Donald Trump visits U.S. service members during a Tuesday trip to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for his six-month check-up, but he does not meet the 14 U.S. troops who were injured in a war associated with Iran and are also recovering at the hospital, according to multiple reports. CBS News cites a military official familiar with the visit and a family member of one of the soldiers in saying Trump’s stop did not include the injured group. The Independent similarly reports that while Trump made time to see some service members at Walter Reed, he did not see any of the 14 injured troops recovering there. Mediaite reports the same detail, stating Trump’s visit did not include those 14 service members wounded in the Iran war. The accounts are consistent that Trump did make at least one visit to service members during the hospital stop, but that he did not visit the specific subgroup of 14 Iran-war casualties at Walter Reed. The reports describe the information as coming from sources close to the visit rather than from direct statements made by the administration in the provided coverage.
