U.S. Army: Arlington Cemetery Employee Was “Abruptly Pushed Aside” During Trump Photo Op, Then “Unfairly Attacked” For Trying To Enforce Rules — Update


Trump's spokesman denied there was a physical altercation.

An Arlington National Cemetery official got into an “incident” with Trump campaign staffers earlier this week, apparently over the use of a photographer in one of the areas where recent fallen soldiers are buried. The campaign also posted a statement from family members of fallen soldiers, in which they said that they “had given our approval for President Trump’s official videographer and photographer to attend the event, ensuring these sacred moment of remembrance were respectfully captured and so we can cherish these memories forever.” Cheung said in a statement to the outlet that “the fact is that a private photographer was permitted on the premises and for whatever reason an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of President Trump’s team during a very solemn ceremony.”
