During a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, former President Donald Trump's campaign staff reportedly engaged in a verbal and physical altercation with a cemetery official. The incident occurred as the staff attempted to film and photograph in Section 60, where recent U.S. military casualties are buried. Arlington officials had previously made it clear that only cemetery staff were authorized to take photos or film. The altercation took place during a wreath-laying ceremony marking the third anniversary of the Abbey Gate attacks in Afghanistan. The cemetery confirmed that an incident occurred and a report was filed. The Trump campaign has denied the allegations, suggesting the cemetery official was experiencing a 'mental health episode.'
