The Trump campaign has denied a report that claims two aides on Donald Trump’s team verbally abused and shoved an official at Arlington National Cemetery during a wreath laying ceremony on Monday.
A source with knowledge of the incident told NPR on Tuesday that the Trump staffers became verbally and physically belligerent after a cemetery official tried to prevent them from filming in Section 60, a 14-acre area where U.S. service members killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are laid to rest.
Trump was at Arlington to observe the anniversary of the 2021 Kabul airport attack, a suicide bombing that killed 13 American service members and more than 150 Afghans amid the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
