onald Trump reneged on an offer he made while in office to pay for murdered soldier Vanessa Guillén's funeral, according to a report in The Atlantic, though his ex-chief of staff has denied being told by the former president not to pay the bill.

Trump made a promise to cover the cost of Guillén's funeral during a meeting with her family at the White House on July 30, 2020.
