NPR reports:
Two members of Donald Trump’s campaign staff had a verbal and physical altercation Monday with an official at Arlington National Cemetery, where the former president participated in a wreath-laying ceremony, NPR has learned.
A source with knowledge of the incident said the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried.
When the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump campaign staff from entering Section 60, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside, according to the source.
Read the full article. The Trump campaign is denying the report and claims that the official was having a “mental health episode.” They are also threatening to sue. Yeah.

Just to be clear: Trump’s team had to push back an official at Arlington Cemetery so he could take this unspeakably inappropriate photo in a section of Arlington where photos are not allowed. https://t.co/jOdmUxS8BD pic.twitter.com/PyXr8IZjUV
