Trump campaign and Arlington Cemetery staff clash at event
A wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery became contentious when a dispute erupted between former President Donald Trump's campaign staff and cemetery officials over filming at the burial site. According to cemetery officials, the incident involved a Trump staffer attempting to film in a restricted area, which led to a confrontation with a cemetery employee. Officials have stated only that "there was an incident" and a "report was filed."
The Trump campaign refuted the claims, asserting that they had obtained permission from the families of fallen service members to film. However, federal regulations forbid political campaign activities at military cemeteries.
