Trump aide 'pushed' Arlington cemetery employee who tried to enforce rules, Army says
An aide to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump "abruptly pushed aside" an Arlington National Cemetery employee who tried to ensure that Trump and his entourage adhered to federal laws and policies that "clearly prohibit political activities on cemetery grounds," a U.S. Army spokesperson said Thursday. The spokesperson said that the pushing incident — which occurred before Trump and family members of slain Marines posed for photos after he laid wreaths at two gravesites at Arlington's Section 60 — led to military police being notified but "the employee subsequently decided not to press charges." "Therefore, the Army considers this matter closed," said the spokesperson. The Army oversees Arlington's operations. The spokesperson said that participants in Trump's visit to Arlington and the visit to Section 60 graves were made aware of laws barri
