WASHINGTON — An aide to Donald Trump pushed an Arlington National Cemetery employee during an incident Monday when the former president visited the site with family members of U.S. service members killed in the Kabul airport attack during the withdrawal from Afghanistan, two Defense Department officials said.
ANC is a national shrine to the honored dead of the Armed Forces, and its dedicated staff will continue to ensure public ceremonies are conducted with the dignity and respect the nation’s fallen deserve. Asked for comment Thursday, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said that the reporting was not true. 'False. Not even remotely true and this person is a liar,' he said.
