On Wednesday, U.S. Army officials seemed to indirectly challenge former President Donald Trump’s campaign for “unfairly” critiquing the professionalism of an Arlington National Cemetery employee who had a confrontation with Trump’s staff, while also providing more information regarding the event.

The Army reported that the cemetery official was “suddenly pushed aside” while attempting to enforce regulations against political campaign activities at the cemetery.

The incident, which took place on Monday, was reported to law enforcement, but the employee later chose not to pursue legal action.

“As a result, the Army views this situation as concluded,” the statement added.

On Tuesday, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung accused the cemetery official of experiencing a “mental health episode,” and senior Trump aide Chris LaCivita labeled the employee as a “despicable individual,” as noted by the New York Times.

The Army, while not explicitly addressing Trump’s campaign, noted that it is “unfortunate that the (cemetery) employee and her professionalism have faced unfounded attacks.”

Arlington National Cemetery “serves as a national memorial to honor the fallen Armed Forces, and its dedicated team will persist in ensuring that public ceremonies are held with the dignity and respect owed to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.”

The Army remarked that participants in Monday’s wreath-laying event and visit to Section 60, where many recent U.S. casualties are buried, were informed of federal laws, Army rules, and Department of Defense regulations that “explicitly prohibit political activities at cemetery grounds.” Trump’s team was capturing photos and videos during the visit.

Cheung contended that a private photographer “was allowed on the grounds,” and the cemetery employee “chose to physically obstruct members of President Trump’s team during a solemn ceremony,” though he disputed reports of a “physical altercation” as described in the media coverage of the event.

Trump’s visit to Arlington came on the third anniversary of a deadly attack in 2021 that killed 13 U.S. service members in Afghanistan. This attack occurred at Abbey Gate near Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan after two decades of conflict.

Trump has used these deaths to claim that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris mishandled the troop withdrawal.

Some veterans expressed anger towards the actions of the Trump campaign during their time at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday.
