Army Releases Redacted Report on Arlington Incident
News summary

The U.S. Army has released a heavily redacted police report detailing an incident where a staffer from Donald Trump's campaign allegedly shoved an employee at Arlington National Cemetery during a ceremony honoring service members from the Afghanistan War. This incident occurred in August when the cemetery employee attempted to stop the campaign staffer from filming and photographing the event, which is prohibited by federal law within military cemeteries. The report, released following a lawsuit by the transparency group American Oversight, indicates that the cemetery worker declined medical treatment and did not wish to press charges. An ongoing military investigation is still active, despite the Army initially stating that the matter was closed. The timing of the report's release, just before the presidential election, has intensified scrutiny over the military's politicization amid Trump's campaign. Trump's visit was to commemorate the Abbey Gate bombing, and he later shared video footage of the event on social media.
