The last Cabinet Meeting of the year is underway. President Trump during the opening of his Cabinet Meeting gave an update on National Guard member Andrew Wolfe who was brutally shot in Washington D.C. last week. Trump while addressing members of his cabinet shared Staff Sgt. Wolfe is still fighting for his life but noted the fact he is still alive is a miracle. Fox News was the first to report on Trump’s update on Wolfe: President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the mother of the wounded National Guardsman insisted to him that her son will survive, as the 24-year-old continues “fighting for his life” after being shot just blocks from the White House last week. Trump remarked on the condition of Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe during a Cabinet Meeting at the White House, giving reporters details of a conversation he had with Wolfe’s mother following Wednesday’s attack in the nation’s capital. Wolfe was critically injured, while another National Guardsman, Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, was killed. “And we have one young man who’s fighting for his life. He’s fighting very hard,” Trump said, adding that while medical professionals “said he didn’t have a chance,” Wolfe’s mother remained adamant that her son would live. “I spoke to his mother, ‘Sir, he’s going to be okay, I’m telling you.’ No doctor thought that. Nobody thought that. He was at bad places. And she was like, so positive. It was incredible. … It would be amazing if he lives. It would be amazing. A miracle, actually.” Trump told reporters that Wolfe was still “fighting for his life” as of Tuesday. On Monday, West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey provided an update on Wolfe’s condition. Wolfe had been upgraded to serious condition, a step down from the previously reported “critical” status, and that there had been some “positive news” from friends and family in the hospital. “Andrew was asked if he could hear the nurse who asked the question to give a ‘thumbs up’ and he did respond,” the governor said, calling the soldier’s mother, Melody, “such a positive force” and that she and her husband, Jason’s top request of the public is to continue to offer prayers.
