(KYMA, KECY)-Vanessa Guillen's family attorney Natalie Khawam says she's set to meet with President Donald Trump on July 29 in Washington, prior to the #IamVanessaGuillen bill being released.
ABC 13 News reports the announcement came moments before a judge in Texas denied the release of 22-year-old Cecily Aguilar in federal court Tuesday afternoon. Aguilar is charged with helping to hide and destroy the body of murdered Fort Hood Army Specialist Guillen.
Sources say Aguilar pleaded not guilty to all three federal counts - two counts of tampering with documents or proceedings and one count of conspiracy to tamper with documents or proceedings.
