Arlington National Cemetery officials report altercation with Trump campaign staff during visit

During a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery marking the third anniversary of the Kabul airport bombing, an altercation occurred between Trump campaign staff and a cemetery official. Federal law prohibits political campaign activities at Army National Military Cemeteries. The official attempted to stop staffers from filming in Section 60, where recent U.S. casualties are buried. The Army confirmed the official was pushed aside. Trump's campaign disputed the characterization of events and released photos from the visit. The cemetery official did not press charges. Gold Star families held differing views, with some who invited Trump defending the visit while others expressed concern.
