Charlotte Charles said the president was 'holding my hand' in the meeting.

has been gathering momentum and has taken Harry's parents, Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn, all the way to the White House where they spoke with Trump.

Harry Dunn, 19, was killed after he was hit on his motorbike by a car travelling on the wrong side of the road. The suspect in the crash outside RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire, has reportedly returned to the U.S.But they were left shocked when Trump said that Sacoolas was in an adjoining room waiting to meet them. They rejected the offer by the president, saying it would not be appropriate with no mediators or therapists present.

She said:"I asked him...if it was your 19-year-old son, or your son...you would be doing the same as me. He was holding my hand at the time and said 'yes, I would' and he said maybe we can try and push this from a different angle."He's the one in control here, but we're the ones in control of our situation as much as he can be. We still want justice for Harry and we will take it as far as we possibly can to ensure that that's done.

Sacoolas has admitted in a statement she was driving on the wrong side of the road when her car hit Dunn. She said it was an accident, and expressed remorse. Britain's Foreign Office says all staff at RAF Croughton, where he worked, were covered by immunity. However the Justice4Harry campaign have asked the government to turn over the documents regarding the immunity status of Saacolas.

jeffgoldesq Manipulative. Beyond insensitive. I do give trump credit for meaning well and trying to do the right thing.

realDonaldTrump always ready to be stirring shit up

DerangedDonald always thinks he’s a hero even when manipulating grieving parents.

Everything is a reality show for that scumbag

There is something sad but strange about the way the ‘parent’ presented herself on the media. I think there might be another agenda here!

Trump is the biggest a$$ out there

Well there biggest mistake was going to the WH. Should have known better.

Do you ever get tired of being 'Newsweak'?

Justice will prevail! When you kill someone immunity shouldn’t come into the equation, especially when you leave running from the crime.

What the fuck is wrong with trump who wakes up and thinks of doing something like this

This whole WH admin is one big Jerry Springer episode.

Sounds like his MO

Jerry Springer wannabe.

My heart breaks for their loss. I’m sorry that trump didn’t have enough empathy to handle a meeting in the correct manner😔

I thought that’s why they came here?

White House full of idiots. Let me guess this was Ivank’s brilliant idea.

Trump hoping for appeasement? Their son was KILLED! If it was an accident as she claims, why run? It just seems like under Trump's 'leadership' Americans just cut and run!

This is just so creepy. Who was this supposed to help?

Crassy as always.

What kind of psycho would set up a meeting like this?

all for a foto op *humangarbage* 🤮

Spanky the consoler in-grief.

RealBuzMartin No...

Their child's killer was in the next room. Mrs. Charles has a great deal more grace than me.

Everything is about ratings for Trump-thought this would get him good ones. Like a TV show with a big surprise “she’s waiting to meet you next door.” That was sick. No reason for it except to make himself look good. It’s not what the parents asked for. Gross and SAD!

Impeach the physco!

Here's the deal, if it was the other way around she would need to be processed for the crime, we would demand it

Why is this individual case so important? There are thousands of similar accidents a day in the world. Nobody cares.

Trump always seems to take the side of the criminal instead of the victim

Seriously. Was Trump trying to use the grieving mother, Charlotte Charles, as a photo op distraction?

Omfg...he's just evil.

He a master at betrayal!

Oh yeah, this guy is the greatest deal-maker the world has ever seen. Just incredible political instincts, that innate ability to read a room...

Aint no American going to no prisin for killing no foriegner's! Obama aint Prescident no more, we dont pander to the Mullah's in Britain!

Did he have his empathy cheat sheet with him this time though? 🤦‍♀️
