Army releases redacted police report on altercation during Trump’s Arlington cemetery visit

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Army has released an almost entirely redacted version of the police report describing when a staffer for Donald Trump’s campaign reportedly shoved an Arlington National Cemetery employee. The altercation in August came as the cemetery worker was trying to prevent them from filming and photographing a ceremony to honor service members killed in the Afghanistan War withdrawal. A federal judge ordered the release Friday in response to a lawsuit. Federal law prohibits campaign or election-related activities within Army national military cemeteries. The four sentences visible in the report block out a key word that appears to describe the Trump campaign staffer shoving the cemetery employee out of the way.
