Democrats have called on the Army for a full report on the alleged altercation at Arlington Cemetery involving the Trump campaign.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, the ranking member on the House Oversight Commitee, sent a letter on Friday to Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth asking for a report on whether Trump’s goons “violated federal law or Cemetery rules, as well as whether the Trump campaign informed the families of service members buried at the Cemetery that their gravestones would be used in Mr. Trump’s political campaign ads.”
In his letter, Raskin included an apology by Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R), who was also at the ceremony Monday, after he shared photos of the visit on social media accounts and fundraising emails.
An army spokesperson said on Thursday that a female Arlington national cemetery official was “abruptly pushed aside” during an argument with Trump aides over photos and filming on the grounds for partisan, political or fundraising purposes.
